DMCA Policy

Last updated: 23 October 2026

FontGlint respects the intellectual property of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

What FontGlint publishes

FontGlint publishes 3 kinds of material: our own guides and page text, styled text built from Unicode characters, and font previews loaded from Google Fonts. Unicode characters belong to an open standard that everyone can use, and Google Fonts serves fonts under open licenses such as the SIL Open Font License. FontGlint does not store the text visitors type, so we hold no copy of anything you convert.

How to file a DMCA notice

To report material on FontGlint that infringes your copyright, email hello@fontglint.com with the subject "DMCA Notice". A valid notice includes 6 elements:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed.
  3. The exact URL on FontGlint of the material you want removed.
  4. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

We review every complete notice, remove or disable the material we confirm as infringing, and reply within 5 working days.

Counter-notices

To restore material we removed after a notice, send a counter-notice to the same address with 4 elements: your signature, identification of the removed material and its former URL, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your name, address and telephone number with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address. We forward the counter-notice to the person who filed the original notice and restore the material after 10 to 14 business days, unless that person files a court action.

False claims

A person who knowingly misrepresents that material infringes, or that material was removed by mistake, is liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Check that the use is not fair use or licensed before you send a notice.
