[android-developers] Finding Legal Fonts - best practices.

I admit, I am a bit stumped about fonts. It seems to be a legal minefield.

In this case, it is not a TextView, it is a game engine that can render TTF or bitmap fonts.

I am not going to naively assume that any fonts I can find on my Windows or Mac are legal to redistribute.

It appears that Fonts.com would require a brokered negotiation with the designer of the font and, likely, more money than I expect the app to make in a year.

It seems like the only safe route would be to use a royalty free commercial use font from here.

Assuming that someone didn't pirate a font and put it on there.

Or using Roboto, and risk that it might offend discriminating iOS users in the iOS version. Or would they even care?
