Thanks and good feedback, beta testing was done in a similar way - font cut with a few missing glyphs and was limited to ASCII-basic set. I'll see if I can extend this more generally.

One idea to consider... offer the font but with the vowels jumbled around and the digits jumbled around. I can see everything I need. But would need to buy it if I really want to use it.

I know I'm the niche of the niche, but many fonts I tried, have problems rendering Turkish characters e.g "ş" "ı" "ğ" "ü", does the font support these, if yes, could we get a screenshot with iTerm2 if possible? :)

Merhaba :) they are visible in this image [1], so I assume they are supported, but I sadly don't have the font myself to try it out.

This left me more confused - there are two cases : - the typeface is used in media, or otherwise distributed - the typeface is used locally in some app Which license supports which case?

Print licensing is very standard and used by the majority of the font fountries with exception of Lineto and a few others. For example, buy 1 seat (1 designer) and that designer can make unlimited print products as long as they have the seat to use it. It is based on installation on a computer that is used to develop the print materials. Some font fountries prevent the use of embedding fonts in the distributed media…

What about the one-user, commercial shop? Seems like commercial is minimum 10 users, but personal/developer is more expensive per user. Does a one man shop need to pay $250 for commercial use, or $75?
