Raster Gothic can probably be replaced by the Rebble project's Renaissance font, which is metric-compatible. Here are the other system fonts that we'd need to replace:

• Bitham (rasterization of Gotham, we should probably rasterize one of the Google Fonts geometric fonts)
• Roboto, Roboto Bold, Droid Serif (we should probably rasterize newer versions of Roboto and Noto Serif)
• LECO (idk about this)
• Emojis in Raster Gothic

If we only cared about US copyright law, we could probably just copy the bitmaps from the binary Pebble firmware (US copyright law only covers splines and other programs that produce fonts (OTF and TTF files are considered programs), not the font designs themselves).

Yes, we could certainly provide a script so that users could extract their own fonts from a firmware image that they happen to have.

working with the code I know that LECO and Droid Serif are already included so we can already check those

LECO 1976 Regular seems to be the source for the LECO_BOLD fonts and is available for free officially, though the rest of the family (notably light) isn’t. Also, the license doesn’t seem to be compatible with OS inclusion. One could just try emailing the creators to ask if we can use those two weights’ number (plus basic punctuation) glyphs with attribution :)

(edit: plus some other glyphs i forgot, someone should check what glyphs those .pbf files contain)

Most of these have been added as binaries on the coredevices fork which should be getting moved across here soon:

coredevices@1a7d657
coredevices@ba92694
coredevices@e9c52bf
coredevices@bcf229f

The remaining fonts (AgencyFB) have been added, so this should be fixed now.

For reference, that was done in #25.
