: How to find the Author of a Font? I'm working on a Android app project where i use Malayalam fonts (ML-TT-Revathi, ML-TT-Karthika, ML-TT-Ayilyam) and i need to know whether i need a license

If the copyright details aren't shown in the Font previewer...



then you may be able to find it using the File Properties themselves (right-click in Explorer and choose Properties).



Unfortunately (at least in Windows 7) the properties aren't selectable. For this version of the font I found, the copyright data is


COPYRIGHT (c) 1992-95, C-DAC, PUNE, INDIA.ISFOC-MALAYALAM-TTREVATHI-NORMAL


and I guess that C-DAC are the people to ask.

If there are no Windows properties either, you could try opening the font file in Notepad to see if there are recognisable strings included in the data. Don't save it if you do this!
