Not that my programming day job affords me much practice in that regard. Enough that my practiced eye would be able to tell the difference. There are quite a few differences between the two.

I do think I'd have been able to tell Arial from Helvetica. I could look at a page of printed text and tell which (Microsoft) font it was using, I doubt many kids back then could. I'd had a long time to develop my eye for type by the time I was writing papers in high school. I also grew up with computers and started looking at text on screens from the fourth grade. But without a time machine it's impossible to tell. I do think that had I had access to Helvetica back then I would have liked it more. But Arial really did look horrendous to my eyes compared to Verdana, on the same machine. It may have had much more to do with the fact that Win 3.11 had shitty text display than with any real problem with Arial. Verdana would have made Windows look so much better had they made that the main OS sans-serif. But looking at old screenshots of Win3.1 still draws my ire.

And when I look at blown-up / high res versions of Arial text now on my spiffy MacBook screen, they don't look so bad. Well, to be fair, I didn't have Helvetica available at the time I developed my hatred of Arial to compare.

If you want to sell the font, go ahead and do it! However, promoting it here as free font for a limited time to a crowd of people who have a good chance of being developers, well. Redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves.").

These problems are of course already solved by the SIL open font license ( ): with fonts released under this license, I am able to fix problems with the font (kerning etc.), I am able to redistribute it embed) AND the original designer is protected from people who want to sell the font ("The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and That makes it seem like the 'free font' is for designers only (in the sense of: people that will only use the font to make an image, not a document, not a program).

I also have no idea if I can embed the font in a mobile application (phonegap/cordova) through what bugs me when designers provide 'for free' font files on a behance page, and what is also the case here: I am explicitly authorized to install the file locally, sometimes I am explicitly authorized to use it for 'commercial projects', and almost never am I explicitly allowed to redistribute it (which renders possible to use it on a website with or in a mobile or desktop app). css, but you don't explicitly say that redistribution through is allowed. Right now, I have no idea if I'm able to use the font for a website or for a mobile application. I would have appreciated if people in general chose a license before releasing font files.
