Specifically, there is an option to enter text in an input window and display it as zixia font in the forum. : 2. Copyright issues that everyone is most concerned about : Our understanding on this issue did not reach an agreement at first. : We began to think that sohu wanted to buy out the copyright of the zixia font, so we told them that we didn’t want to modify it. : After a long discussion : They introduced that : When trying to use zixia fonts, they felt that some fonts were not uniform. : In fact, this was also a problem when the zixia font was originally created. : Such fonts are imperfect for users to use, so they want to modify them. : In terms of Asciiart, the status of sohu is that of an ordinary Asciiart. : The modified font is the same as the original zixia font : Everyone can use it at will : Copyright raised in their agreement is the reason for our disagreement : They explained that this copyright is mainly for business between business and public. : For example, this font sohu is used in my own forum. : If Sina uses it on his forum, Sohu will accuse him of plagiarism. : But we all still use it the same as before. : Do you want to use the original zixia font or the zixia font modified by sohu? : It’s still the same as before. Don’t just say that I wrote it myself. By the way, when the Zixia font library was originally created, netizens were allowed to use it, so if sohu uses it directly The font library provided is completely acceptable. : 3. Cost issue : Sohu as a company hopes to modify the font as soon as possible : So they proposed a plan to pay people who make changes to promote changes. : To be more specific, if flubber or another ascier were to modify it, it might take him 2 years to change all the fonts. Okay, if their company uses this method to promote, it may be corrected in two months. Because they hope to come up with a relatively complete set of fonts as soon as possible, they hope to invest in this matter. In other words, the remuneration paid by sohu is to allow those involved in the modification to complete the modification quickly in a short period of time.
