Licensing methods for purchasing words used in publications such as books, educational aids, and newspapers

The authorization methods for purchasing fonts for publications such as books, educational aids, and newspapers are generally as follows based on different font brands:

1. Domestic font brands

Domestic font brands usually have independent authorization methods for paper publications (names include publication authorization, book authorization, journal authorization, newspaper authorization, etc.)

Some font brands may attribute the authorization of paper publications to the scope of full media authorization. Therefore, if you purchase full media authorization, you do not need to purchase another publication authorization. However, this depends on the market decision and authorization regulations of the copyright owner. Currently, most brands do not support publication authorization for full media authorization

The publication authorization here refers to paper publications and does not include electronic publications (e-books, PDF documents, etc.)

2. Foreign font brands

Foreign font brands rarely establish independent authorization methods for paper publications. Usually, you only need to purchase desktop authorization (Desktop);

Desktop licensing allows you to install fonts on your computer for creative purposes, including editing and typesetting of publication content. The created works can be used for commercial purposes without spreading font files (ttf, otf, woff, etc.), but be careful not to send font files to third parties in any way. Whether directly sending font files or embedding font files in other files for dissemination is not allowed. PDF, PPT, and other documents with editable text content will default to embedding font files, so the dissemination of such documents is not allowed; If necessary, you can rasterize the text content into image format and then send or propagate it

We do not rule out that a few foreign font brands may exclude their publications from desktop authorization, which needs to be confirmed in the brand's authorization documentation

When domestic font brands authorize publications, there are various authorization methods, such as overall authorization by the publishing house, authorization by ISBN or journal number, and authorization by circulation; Foreign brands generally do not impose restrictions on circulation
