Hello everyone, just released this on github: https://github.com/fefanto/fontaudio

Just had this idea in my head for a while and finally some free time to cobble up a first version.

Would love some initial feedback especially regarding if this can be actually useful - so I can have a better idea about the value of putting some more work on it.

thanks!
Michelangelo

This is actually quite great!
I think you might want to simplify things regarding licenses and only use one for all components instead of three.
At least for me some icons might be useful in future works.

Not sure about that, been showing the package to more web oriented devs and feedback was that without the font and svg specific licenses it seems professional/commercial use of the font would not be possible (anything is possible, just not... justifiable license-wise?)

Anyway I just copied fontawesome free license(s) configuration, which should state that provided some kind of minimal attribution one can do whatever she wants with the whole thing.

It is always possible to dual license those parts so they can choose whatever suits.
Not sure why MIT license for fonts and svg won't do for commercial use though.
Anyway, the licenses are quite permissive so not a big issue per se, just that most developers won't recognize all licenses etc.

With CC license for SVG, do I interpret it correctly if attribution (mentioning you in practice) is only needed if the fonts are redistributed as such, but not when embedded in a product/binary? "If supplied, you must....."

no idea about that - I'd say it's fair - if you have a binary and not source code - to have some licenses dialog or .txt file with the "minimal thank yous" for external stuff you used. That said my work has a very limited added value, other than providing the immediate fruition of an industry-specific artwork package... in other words, I guess I did not invent the visual paradigm for a bell or low shelf filter, did I?

Is the mapping from code-points to TTF glyphs documented somewhere?

Only in:
https://github.com/fefanto/fontaudio/bl ... ta/Icons.h

My bad - will make a proper documentation as soon as I have time to automate it.
