hi.
i am not up-to-speed with copyright and re-use / re-purpose community-created extensions. i certainly do not want to infringe / violate any either.
i modified an existing extension: expanded language fonts (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?26775-Expanded-Fantasy-Language-Fonts-(FG-v3-1-3-))
i had intended to keep it private and use this modified version for campaigns i gm, but think it would be really cool to for any table to enhance the rp'ing aspect of fantasy languages.
i didn't like the fonts that are set in current extension, plus i wanted to add more (mostly pathfinder ones - see image), so i looked for others fonts that i thought visually better represented the list that i currently use.
what i did:
- downloaded all fonts from the internet that i thought would be considered public domain
- i did not convert any font to .fgf format
- rather, repurposed the "ttf" directory to house and reference fonts from there using, e.g.: <ttf file="ttf-fonts/Elvish.ttf" name="Elvish" size="18" />
- adjusted each font size so that they all appear uniformly similar size in chat (see image)
- repackaged, clear out all languages from db.xml, then reload fg
i'm really happy with result, and as i said would like to share it here. however, instead of scouring fg forum and learning about all the nuances of copyright, can someone tell me if what i did is enough -- satisfied copyright guidelines -- for sharing to the fg community, or what other steps do i need to take? or is it even allowed to share modified extension created by someone else?
thanks.
