Monotype may as well be the mafia. My wife’s work had to deal with those assholes, too, after they bought the rights to some font. They’re just shaking companies down for cash.
This would be an interesting comic strip. A company that has purchased all the fonts in existence, and then the artist doing the comic you are reading gets sued by the company he’s making a comic about, because he doesn’t have the rights to the font.

There was a fun article yesterday about a guy dealing with the Monotype shakedown.
I can’t figure out how to strip this weird Voyager url handler to the Lemmy post, so here’s the actual post
