It seems fonts developed in sourceforge like systems may not be able to support font linking at all, or only from their own sites.
So, as policy, should we (via moderation) accept all Free Software licenses? I'd like a "show of hands" - Please reply with your name and then "yes" or "no" - we can then debate the "no"s :-) Dave Crossland: Yes ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ben Laenen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2008/11/11 Subject: Re: [DejaVu-fonts] Open Font Library wants to host your fonts for @font-face web To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Dave Crossland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Tuesday 11 November 2008, Dave Crossland wrote: > Hi! > > Last week, "Hendry" asked on IRC if the DejaVu TTF were on a central > website so that they would be easily linkable via @font-face CSS. Nope, sourceforge doesn't allow direct linking of files (it can only go through their file release system), so we need another location like OFLB. btw, wasn't there a built-in restriction for font linking in the browsers that support @font-face which limits font linking to the same domain as the webpage?

Firefox has this, and sites must configure their HTTPDs if they want to allow cross-site fonts. OFLB will do this as soon as FF implements the feature (currently its turned on and can only be turned off by users configuring FF to not do it always, but thats because its in development)
