#2After seeing a few of the sites go down it seemed like a good idea to put it under source control. I don't claim rights to any of these works.

That’s not how copyright works.

I understand the urge to handwave away copyright or whatever, but it would be nice to at least see some attribution or the links from which you obtained the fonts. The people who made the content you're redistributing would probably appreciate that.

And that's fine: Github has a perfectly reasonable dispute resolution procedure, where rights holders first get to contact the repo owner to either remove or properly attribute their work. And if that doesn't lead to a satisfactory resolution, they can file a DMCA takedown notice and force the issue.

Oh well, ask for forgiveness, not permission. Zero people are going to press claims on this repo. And I'll make the easy wager that nobody who made any of these fonts are ever going to know about (much less care about) this repo.
We bootlick/grandstand over the weirdest things on this forum. Demosceners caring about another hacker publishing or using their font? Oh bother.

#8It would be nice if you could create a webpage with a bit of JS with controls for choosing the font parameters, and the right font coming up on the browser window, perhaps with a nice zoom factor.

Yep. I am fine with artists contacting me if they want their work credited or removed. I only did it because it seemed like a good idea to secure them somewhere.
