Hi,

I need to select a few fonts for our client to choose from that can be legally embedded into their software for distribution.

After reading this article:

http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2011/06/06/fonts-and-where-can-i-use-them/

it sounds like there is an Adobe 'Font Folio Select' that contains fonts we can use but I can't find any information about where to get hold of it.

I have spent hours hunting for fonts we can legally use and read lots of EULAs and still have no idea what fonts are available to developers!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

While the James Lockman blog you referred to is correct that our product, Font Folio Select, contains only fonts that we control and for which we can offer the broadest rights, it is mistaken in its description of how it is offered.  Font Folio Select is actually a collection of fonts which we offer for server usage - for customers who need fonts for automated printing services, or for web based services which offer a font selection.  I'm very sorry for the misinformation.

Font licensing for applications is something for which we can provide you a direct quote.  If you would like to email me directly at the address listed below, I can get you in touch with a sales associate who can help you.  Additionally, if you provide me with a list of fonts you are interested in licensing, if there are fonts which are not ours, I can also provide you with foundry contact information so you can reach out to them directly.
