Gro Fykse Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I am writing a book and use Affinity to make the script reader-friendly. Will I have to buy a license to use a font in Affinity for printing/publishing the book I am making? Or can I use the fonts without thinking of licenses and such things? Kind regards from a confused writer: Gro Quote

If the font is a legal copy - bought or already came with your OS - and has no restrictions whatsoever, I cannot imagine any reason why not using the font safely. Could you name the font please?

Gro Fykse Posted July 3, 2021 Author Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Thanks, @Joachim_L ! The font is Perpetua. And just a question to show my age: What does OS stand for? Kind regards Gro Edited July 3, 2021 by Gro Fykse Quote

Therefore, if you have installed in the OS and subsequently used only the fonts supplied with the OS, or fonts for which you have a license (or they can be intended for free use), then there is no problem with their use.
