    Hi,

    I want to use "big name" fonts in my game for example DIN and GOTHAM. As i know these can only be used after i purchase a license of them. BUT. The license is only for the fonts (as software), what if i use them as picture? As it is the only available option in Buildbox to use multiple fonts. Does someone have any infos about licensing? Thank you.

    multiple fonts in a single game?

    very doable... just add a new font in the font editor and when you drag user text into the game, you select what font you want to use for it

    Yes i know that, but what about for the use of Gotham for example? On several sites the license to use them is about 32000$... But using on a picture in buildbox, is what i want to know, is it against the copyright? I read that it against the copyright only if you use it embedded somewhere as a font, not as a picture.

    By multiple fonts i meant two different fonts in one game. One with the label editor one as a picture.
