First of all, thank you for the revision. The changes do everything I needed and it is deeply appreciated.

I wanted to ask about the Fonts/icons used for the dice, attack types, etc. In the SRD they are listed as if we can use them. Can we? Will these be available for download?

Yes, I know that people can "rip" or copy the fonts but I have no plans to use them unless we have official permission. It would make things LOTS easier if we could.

Thank you,
Patrick

Mar 04, 2009 17:01:53 Well, if you take a look at page 55 of the SRD, the icons are used in the monster stat template. So I assume you can use them.

Well, the problem is that this would be an assumption. The actual font isn't available for download right now. Yes, I know that people have done that special "computer magic" that can be done to COPY the font, but I want specific permission and an ability to download the font directly or I won't use it.

I would agree that the structure and layout of the SRD IMPLY that we can use those fonts, but the WotC proprietary fonts haven't been released to us. It is still a fair question to ask. In fact, legally, for me (or anyone) to use a font like this we really do need to receive that permission directly from the creator.

Mar 04, 2009 21:14:28 The GSL states you can use a font similar to the symbols in the SRD, I take this to mean yes, you can use the font. In fact you can actually download a Dice Font from Ambor.com...

Patrick,

Yes you can use the fonts/icons in the SRD including the map icons.

At this time I don't think we'll be posting them but that could change in the future.

If they are in the SRD they can be used if not then no.

I hope this answers your question

Now for another question. Can someone tell me what they are so I can go purchase them?

I already have the dice font.

I've been watching this thread hoping this would have been answered :P

While I'm here: Would someone name the old 1st edition font too please? I used to have it a few years ago and would like to find it again.

Mar 05, 2009 10:52:42 You can get the fonts from the monster maker here:
http://www.asmor.com/programs/monstermaker/index.php
The download comes with a font pack. It has the dice and ability icons plus the little disease track arrows.

For older D&D fonts, check out this page:

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. When I get back from vacation I might email you so I can get this response via email. The message board is good, but I was told to get a reply I can save.

Thanks again,
Patrick

Edit: just was told that because they are in the SRD this confirmation was all I needed. Thanks again.
