In 2003, I purchased the Adobe CC Collection. This package included the font Futura Std, which was published by Adobe itself. I still have this font as an OTF file and would like to continue using it. Since this font has not been offered by Adobe for over 10 years, I am wondering about the current licensing rights for this font. Is this font still subject to licensing? Am I allowed to use the Futura Std font for my website through self-hosting?
thanks
The license you purchased in 2003 likely does not cover self-hosting or format conversion. In other words, while you may still use Futura Std as outlined in the CS3 license (for preparing print documents, for example), it does not cover de-facto online distribution (which is what you’d do when self-hosting a non-webfont file).
See this thread for further information about Futura Std:
