[$] Adobe's open source font experience
The fifteenth annual TypeCon
conference was held in Portland,
Oregon on August 21–25, featuring a mix of session topics that
encompassed type design, letterpress printing, and modern font
software. Open source and open font licensing have become hot topics
in recent years—largely due to the rise of CSS web
fonts. But the signs are that open source is gaining even broader
acceptance, as evidenced by Paul Hunt and Miguel Sousa's presentation
on the Adobe Source Sans Pro and Source Code Pro fonts—and the
ripple effects they triggered within the company.
