So if I, the end user, import a font to an app that allows commercial use, I’m free to use it?
Hi Sean, generally, if the font's licensing terms allow for commercial use and you've complied with any applicable requirements (like attribution), you should be able to use it. However, each font's licensing may vary.
I mean as the end user not the software developer, I don’t think commercial use fonts required attribution
Hello Sean,
- If the font license allows commercial use without requiring attribution, you can use it.
- However, you should read the terms and conditions of the license carefully.
- Laws can vary, so it's important to understand them fully.
I imported the Luckiest Guy font to Ibis Paint to use to edit a text in a textbox for a picture and video, is that okay?

- Always check the specific license terms for each font.
- In case of doubt, consult with a legal professional.
