However, yes, the theme needs to link to<br>> something about that font somewhere. This something should both be a<br>> credit page, as well as stating what license the font is available<br>> under.<br>> <br>> For example, if a theme used Open Sans from Google Fonts, then I'd<br>> expect it to have a link in comments or the readme.txt file to<br>> http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans , which states where<br>> the font came from as well as the Apache License it's available under.<br>> <br>> Font licensing can be complex and tricky, so it's important that fonts<br>> used by themes have licenses which allow their usage on sites.<br>> <br>> Additionally, note that not every web user can see fonts from<br>> third-party sites, so appropriate fallbacks should be coded into the<br>> CSS to allow for more "default" fonts to be used as well.<br>> <br>> -Otto<br>> <br>> <br>> On Sat, Jul 13, 2013 at 5:22 AM, carolina poena <myazalea@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> > A question from a recent ticket:<br>> > "the reviewer asked for including font license, but the theme doesn't bundle<br>> > or distribute the fonts?"<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > -Are enqueued fonts not to be treated the same as fonts that are actually<br>> > included in the themes folders?<br>> ><br>> ><br>> ><br>> > ________________________________<br>> > Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:58:44 -0400<br>> > From: chip@chipbennett.net<br>> > To: theme-reviewers@lists.wordpress.org<br>> > Subject: Re: [theme-reviewers] bundled resources<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > Nope; that is sufficient.
