Sender: freshtime Fat Cat Legend 3 Return of Ah Qiu Title: Let me write about the discussion with Sohu last night about the zixia font 1 Sending site: Shuimu Community Sat Aug 19 11:55:46 2006 , within the site Xingyue never came up Let me write it Last night at 6 o'clock, I starmooh timely met with two employees of sohu at Qingqing Fast Food Image of two young men IT migrant workers XD We discussed until around 7:30 Write down the content of the discussion in detail 1.Where will the zixia font be used? They hope to use the font in forums and the like, with an effect similar to custom emoticons on the Internet. Just the smiling faces, crying faces, etc. on public forums In terms of use, it is provided free of charge to sohu users. 2. Copyright issues that everyone is most concerned about Our understanding on this issue did not begin to agree. We began to think that sohu wanted to buy out the copyright of the zixia font, so we told them that we did not want to modify it. after a long discussion They introduced that When trying to use the zixia font, they felt that some of the fonts were inconsistent In fact, this was also a problem that existed when Zixia font was originally created. Such fonts are imperfect for users to use, so they want to modify them. In terms of Asciiart sohu's status is that of an ordinary Asciiart The modified font is the same as the original zixia font Everyone is free to use it The copyright issues raised in their agreement are the cause of 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 You can 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. 3. Cost issue As a company, sohu hopes to modify the font as soon as possible. So they came up with 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 modify all the fonts. If their company uses this method to promote, it might be corrected in two months.
