The fonts compiled here were just converted or made compatible, and the original authors should be given proper credit. Each font is under its own license, and while most of them are under an open license, there might be differences in its usage and conditions.
You can use tinyfontgen to generate a tinyfont from a bdf/ttf font.

During compilation, tinygo will go through all the font files in a package and them discard them if not used. To improve compilation time considerably, move the files you are going to use to a new package.
This package contains incompatible changes from previous versions.
- The argument has been changed from []byte to string.
- You can simply add a string() cast.
- The Font struct has been changed.
- If you are creating your own fonts, you need to modify them.
- You may find this script helpful for font conversion.
- Program code: Licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License, same as the Go project.
- Fonts: Each font is licensed under its own terms. Some allow commercial use, others (e.g., CC BY-NC, GPL) have restrictions.
Please check the license file in each font's directory before use, especially for commercial projects.
