Wait... How Should I Credit the Scratch Fonts??

Fun_Cupcake_i81

Okay, so in the past I had asked about using fonts from Scratch in my series, which I'm moving from Scratch to YouTube, and at the time the consensus was just to credit them. At the time, I had assumed that the Scratch Team made them themselves due to the clear resemblance to the 2.0 fonts, but I'm now realizing, after looking at the Scratch Wiki, that just like the 2.0 fonts, these are just renamed fonts that already exist on Google Fonts. So it should be fine to credit their name and creator on Google Fonts and NOT the Scratch Team, right?? Since the Scratch Team only liscenced the fonts, and didn't create them. I'm just checking that I'm right here, though.

EDIT: As a side note, I don't have a wiki account, but since there are links to the Scratch 3.0 fonts on Google Fonts, the same should probably be done for the 2.0 fonts as to my knowledge they are all available there except for “Scratch”. Again, I'd do this myself, but I don't have a wiki account. Anyways, back to the actual question…

Hi! I'm Fun Cupcake and I pop onto the forums every now and then to ask questions or try and help out.

Also, I do in fact have a voice-acted series. It's a fantasy story and I'd love it if you'd check it out!
You could also check out Sprinkle Town, a town game I created inspired by Stardew Valley! (It's still in very early development stages.)

If they are fonts that exist on google fonts they might be covered under different licences, check what each one it and what it allows and disallows. Just giving credit may not be good enough for some of them.

Nothing here.

Sorry, I was working on those, but I kinda… forgot to or something. Oops.
You can just search the names of the 2.0 fonts in google fonts and they should pop up.

If you want Helvetica and are NOT using a Mac/iPad, you can use Nimbus Sans L instead. It's basically the same thing.

EDIT: Oh also yes pretty much all the fonts used are lisecned under the SIL OFL which allows for free use with credit

Yeah, I checked the liscence and it seems like it's free to use. Thanks!
