Where can we find a similar such thing for the sources repurposed and/or redistributed for or through Copilot, anyway?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
At least they both don't look like the 1. Someone's gonna lose a LOT of crypto over this.
Unlikely given that's precisely why Base58 was invented.

Perhaps I'm misreading your question, are you asking why they invest in fonts? If so, the answer is that fonts are a major underpinning of how an organization or a product is presented to the world. To make an analogy that the hn crowd might understand, the value of a typeface for a design system is like the value a cryptographic primitive or a library like openssl to a functioning security system. Nobody (aside from…
Fine, but are there any good reasons to spend resources on fonts? Maybe if they spent less resources on achievements, fonts, etc. and more on reliability they could improve their downtime, which seems to be happening more and more often.
This is where the wide parameterization of the fonts comes into play: "use one of those two fonts, feel free to go wild with the parameters" is much more likely to actually be followed than "use one of those n fonts, no exceptions", for almost any value of n. And better for morale as well.
I wonder if we could train a "Font Copilot" on a bunch of fonts and then claim the output is license free

- Time spent on making font: 3 hours - Time spent on making website with cute CG robots to promote font: 5 months, $700,000 in graphic design and engineering labor
Wow, two brand new fonts in 2022 and they still make lowercase "l" look exactly like uppercase "i", I thought we were past that by now :(
Worse than look exactly alike, they are exactly the same. Pixel for pixel when I compare the examples on the site. Sigh.
