Oh read that wrong. Read as "doesn't define the fonts or slogan" Lol. Yes, I'll put up my sample generator soon, and maybe we can vote. On 4 Sep 2015 7:32 am, "C R" <cajhne@...400...> wrote:
Yea, my thoughts exactly about using the font on the website as well. I do rather like "Draw Freely" though, to be honest, I do far more layout and construction of shapes than drawing. Likewise, I always wondered about "Illustrator" as the name of Adobe's Inkscape alternative. Illustration is the least of what goes on in Illustrator, ihmo. Something more accurate might be "Design Free", though it doesn't have the playful nature of "Draw". So I recommend sticking with Draw Freely. Drawing is something everyone is familiar with, so there's a tactile connection that transcends the technical nature of software. It's a statement as much about the UX of Inkscape as it is about the freedom of creation, and the freedom of Inkscape as FOSS software.

Hi CR,
There's also a further consideration when it comes to the trademarks. I've just checked the policy https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/ and it doesn't specify fonts for the slogan so we should be good to pick one.
If we use a google font, we can probably use it on the website too.

Therefore I've started writing some code that will place the inkscape logo above the text "draw-freely" such that the visitor can switch through all of these fonts without needing to download and install all of them (I will need to add some code to display the fonts in approriate size for the graphic, since they vary somewhat dramatically in what they consider to be 12pt font). We can then take votes from people still interested in this after listening to me rattle on for days about it. :)
