Re: W3C Proposed Recommendation: WOFF File Format 1.0
Any properly licensed TrueType/OpenType/Open Font Format file can be packaged in WOFF format for Web use. anybody else see problems here. W3C its main goal is to open standards right ? i think Mozilla's Jonathan Kew, needs to stick this where it does not shine ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

W3C its main goal is to open standards right ? No, I don't see a problem there. WOFF *is* an open standard. The fact that it's an open standard has nothing to do with the licensing of any content (fonts) delivered in this format, whether extremely free and open or highly restrictive - just as the HTTP protocol, for example, may be used to deliver either free or proprietary content. That sentence, IMO, is merely a reminder that packaging a font file in WOFF format does not in itself magically alter or remove any copyright restrictions or licensing terms that may be applicable; and conversely, that a font delivered as a WOFF file is still subject to whatever terms the font owner chooses (just like any other content, regardless of how it is packaged). ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

W3C Proposed Recommendation: WOFF File Format 1.0
W3C recently published the following Proposed Recommendation (the final stage in the W3C process before Recommendation) WOFF File Format 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/PR-WOFF-20121011/ Mozilla's Jonathan Kew is one of the authors of this specification. If there are comments you think Mozilla should send as part of the review, or if you think Mozilla should voice support or opposition to the specification, please say so in this thread. Given Mozilla's involvement, I'd expect to express unqualified support for the specification's advancement. (I'd also note that there have been many previous opportunities to make comments, so it's somewhat bad form to bring up fundamental issues for the first time at this stage.) The deadline for Mozilla to send comments is November 8. -David -- 턞 L.
