I got font installed on PC Dingbat US Wings of America, I wonder if it is ok to use

Hi,
Some time I purchase fonts, some times it is included in the designing software.
On my laptop I got Dingbat US Wings of America which got insignia/signs.
I wonder if it is ok to use such fonts in a design.
Thank you

@toto@k22, thank you for the reply. I am checking with Dan Zadorozny of iconian.com.

@toto@k22, I sent an email to Dan Zadorozny of iconian.com but no reply. So nothing can be done. The place from where I had bought the fonts some years back had their commercial license included in the zip file, I guess that license should be enough.
Thank you

Why not download the font at their site and see if there’s information there regarding commercial use

@toto@k22 Hi thank you for the reply. Yes when I purchased fonts inside zip folder there was a commercial license.

Hi @jerseygirl, thank you for your intro. I am going to check your URL. Your fonts are on Iconian by which name?
I checked your URL its iconian, do you know Dan Zadorozny of iconian.com. Any way I contacted and did not get reply.

Ari94, I might be the only person who still uses ScanFont 3 to make fonts, but it's the only one compatible with my style.

I make detailed source graphics with MS Paint, and import them into ScanFont 3 as monochrome bitmaps. I then 'sculpt' the vectors by removing all of the nodes than are not needed to maintain the shape of the contours. If I remove the wrong node, edit -> undo puts it back.

Take a look at the animated .gif on the details page for my font Cabbagetown, to see the steps used to design my letter M. The read me .pdf in the dafont .zip has examples of what finished glyphs look like in ScanFont 3. The promo .gif is definitely worth the minute and twenty seconds of your life needed to watch it all the way to the end.

Note that SF3 is 1990's software, and no longer sold by fontlab. I don't think it works with Windows operating systems more recent than XP. I have it installed on an XP computer which has never been connected to the Internet. The processing speed is amazing; Internet and updates slow everything down.

I normally make dingbats, but Cabbagetown is my one and only original alphabet design.

Hi Metaphasebrothel, I appreciate your detailed reply. Me too still got my Windows XP having some designing software which can not run on new Windows computer. I also check your fonts and noticed animation of "M". I will try to get SF3 if possible. Do you suggest any alternate? Once again thank you for sharing great information. Today I learned something.

Oh for heaven's sake.

@Ari94, if you go to www.iconian.com and click on "Commercial Use" at the top left, you will find instructions
on how to get a commercial license. All you have to do is send him $20 via Paypal.

I have no personal association with Dan Zadorozny or Iconian fonts.
