یہ کافی اہم نکتہ ہے۔ ہمارے فونٹ ساز دوستوں کو اس جانب توجہ دینی چاہیے۔ اردو ویب، القلم اور دوسرے پلیٹ فارمز سے اردو کے کئی فری فونٹس ریلیز کیے گئے ہیں۔ اگر انہیں مناسب لائسنس کے تحت ریلیز کیا جائے تو انہیں گوگل فونٹس میں بھی شامل کیا جا سکتا ہے جو کہ ایک اہم پیشرفت ثابت ہو سکتا ہے۔

اردو ویب پر شئیر کردہ مواد اردو ویب کی ملکیت نہیں ہے۔ اصل مالک اور مختار ان کے تخلیق کار ہیں۔ البتہ ان سے ضرور اس سلسلے میں گزارش کی جا سکتی ہے۔

نبیل بھائی ، کم از کم ایک فونٹ ساز ساتھی اپنا فونٹ گوگل ویب فونٹس میں شامل کرنے کو تیار ہے. یہ بتائیں کہ فونٹس کو لائسنس کیسے دلوایا جائے ؟

مجھے اس کے بارے میں علم نہیں ہے۔ اس کے لیے گوگل ویب فونٹس پراجیکٹ سے رجوع کیا جانا چاہیے۔
 
SIL OFL license کی ویب سائٹ کے FAQ نمبر چار : "Licensing Your Original Fonts Under the OFL" میں لکھا ہے کہ OFL license لائسنس صرف کاپی رائٹ شدہ فونٹس ہی حاصل کر سکتے ہیں. فونٹس کے بین الاقوامی کاپی رائٹ حاصل کرنے کے لیے ایک اچھا مضمون : اس کا ربط http://www.wisegeek.com/how-do-i-copyright-a-font.htm

شمیل قریشی! مجھے آپ کی تجویز سے اتفاق ہے القلم سیریز کے تمام فانٹس کو گوگل ویب فانٹس میں شامل کیا جانا چاہیئے ۰۰۰۰۰

القلم تاج نستعلیق کو یوم اقبا ل پر ریلیز کر رہا ہوں ۔۔۔ اس کے کاپی رائٹس محفوظ ہیں ۔۔ اور لائسنس بھی تیار ہے ۔۔ لیکن یہ لائسنس القلم تاج نستعلیق سے مخصوص ہے ۔۔ چونکہ یہ نستعلیق فانٹ لگیچرز پر مبنی ہے اس لیے اس کا حجم زیادہ ہو گا کیا اس فانٹ کو بھی ویب فانٹس میں جمع کروایا جا سکتا ہے

القلم سیریز کے باقی تمام نسخ فانٹس کے کاپی رائٹ تو محفوظ نہیں لیکن تاج نستعلیق والے لائسنس میں ہی معمولی ردو بدل کے ساتھ اسے القلم فانٹس کے لیے عمومی لائسنس بنایا جا سکتا ہے

آپ میری رہنمائی کریں مجھے اس سلسلہ میں کیا کرنا ہوگا
 
میں نے کل شام آفس سے جانے سے پہلے گوگل ویب فونٹس پروجیکٹ کے ایک منتظم سے گوگل ویب فونٹس پروجیکٹ میں اردو فونٹس سے مطلق پوچھا انھوں نے ابھی تھوڑی دیر پہلے یہ جواب لکھا ہے.

Please let me know any Urdu fonts under the SIL OFL license you'd like
me to add to www.google.com/webfonts/earlyaccess :)
Cheers

جیسا کہ گزشتہ تحریر سے واضح ہے کہ گوگل ویب فونٹس کے ایک منتظم کے مطابق اگر کوئی بھی اردو فونٹ SIL OFL license یافتہ ہے ، وہ اسے گوگل ویب فونٹس میں شامل کرنے کو تیار ہیں. مزید براں ، آپ کے پاس جو لائسنس ہے، اس کا کیا نام ہے؟ مجھے بتائیے تا کہ میں ان سے اس مخصص لائسنس کی قبولیت کے بارے میں بھی دریافت کروں جو آپ کے لائسنس یافتہ فانٹس کو حاصل ہے.
