Add font to windows store

Open goto1134 opened this issue 6 years ago • 12 comments

Hello! It would be great if this wonderful font will be available on Windows Store. In this case one will not need any administrative rights to install the font and the font will become more accessible.

Is it possible? Do they take any fees?

There are some fonts in the store. Most or even all of them are owned by Microsoft.

Unfortunately I didn't find any free way to do it. They take fees: $19 for individual account and $99 for commercial.

I hoped there is a free way for open source projects, but there isn't any. Now I don't think, it's a good idea.

If a personal account would work, I'll pay the $19 registration fee. I don't think there are any fees on top of that if your app (font) is free in the store. Asking around to see if there are better options, but if not I'm happy to donate $19 towards my favorite font.

Ok I’ll see what the process looks like and if it’s possible to provide fonts this way

Cool! I'm also ready to support fee payment.

You can use PayPal Pools to fundraise money for the store account! I'd be intrested on getting this wonderful font from the store! With the new console or fluent console and vscode is a must have :D

Same here! It would be great if this was made available on Microsoft Store. I couldn't find anything in the docs, but just this here.
