Digging through that site I find the following related to use of this font in
web sites:
First the licence is a Creative Commons ´BY¡ license which only demands
attribution.
Thank you for finding that information that attribution is all that's
needed to answer the second of the two original questions.
1. Technical (how do I embed the TT font in PowerPoint?)
2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff?)
The manner of attribution for a web site is to include the following:
´http://www.onlinewebfonts.com font by Michael D. Adams is licensed by
CC BY 3.0"
I agree that a simple attribution page is in the spirit of the Creative
Commons license agreement, since distribution isn't by web, but by
PowerPoint embedding.
The license says:
"This font may be freely distributed and used provided copyright
notifications remain intact."
That sounds pretty specific. However, this download site states; ´License:
unknown¡ and is less specific than the onlinewebfonts.com license.
http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Roadgeek+2005+Series+B/
So that site fails to meet the minimum CC BY 3.0 license requirement.
I think this particular free font is so widely distributed on web sites
that the adherence to license agreements by those web sites is variable.
The copyright says:
"Copyright (c) Michael D. Adams, 2005. All rights reserved."
That seems to be the simplest statement of attribution, and the only
requirement of the Collective Commons ´BY¡ 3.0 license.
Thank you for finding and understanding the "collective commons" agreement,
which is new to me so I appreciate your advice.
So how do you maintain a copyright notice intact in PowerPoint 2007?
To cover all bases to be within the spirit of the CC license, I would add a
CYA page to your Power Point presentation which states the following, or
words to that effect:
Roadgeek 2005 Series B Copyright © Michael D. Adams, 2005. All Rights
Reserved. License CC by.¡
Thank you.
That seems like a good answer to the second question of the two asked!
1. Technical (how do I embed the TT font in PowerPoint?)
2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff?
Are there Mac experts on this ng who know the answer to the first question?
