Questions about DSEG14 Classic
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is DSEG14 Classic free for commercial use?
Yes. DSEG14 Classic is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “DSEG”.
How do I download and install DSEG14 Classic?
FontKind doesn’t host DSEG14 Classic’s files: it isn’t on Google Fonts, and comes free from Fontsource , a library of open fonts. On its page there, choose Get font, then Download complete family, and unzip the file: it holds desktop fonts for every weight and style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install. For a website, npm install @fontsource/dseg14-classic adds it in one line.
Is DSEG14 Classic in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: DSEG14 Classic isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as DSEG14 Classic Light. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is DSEG14 Classic in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and DSEG14 Classic comes from Fontsource. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is DSEG14 Classic in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and DSEG14 Classic comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
