The creator of the Komika font says that his fonts are not free.
Here’s the old Reddit post I made a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/fonts/comments/1s6i33l/komika_hand_komika_text_komika_display_and_komika/
I found the official Dafont profile of the creator of the Komika fonts, and it clearly states that the Komika fonts are not free for commercial use. Now it all seems much less safe.
The Komika fonts are widely known as royalty free, and the license (readme) says “freeware” in every context. I don’t think it’s really safe anymore to use the Komika fonts for commercial purposes.

I just recently changed my licensing to make it even simpler now haha.
I charge $20.00 across the board for Unlimited royalty free use of any of my fonts for commercial businesses.
I only accept payment via Paypal or Postal Money Order so you don't have to worry about bad checks and whatnot.
Just add a note in your info file with your font letting people know how you wish to sell it.

I definitely agree metaphasebrothel...I get emails all the time asking to use my fonts for various things, most of the time it falls under personal use so I just thank them for letting me know about how it's being used and wish them luck.
My licensing is simple..if it's just for a super small project I don't care,I've donated the use of my fonts to a bunch of bands I liked and other people like for charities and such, If a business is planning on selling a lot of items using one then a small license fee shouldn't be a problem.
I made my licenses real easy..anything up to 1000 units or for a small commercial web site it's $5.00,up to 5000 units it's $10.00, and for a unlimited unit license it's $25.00. For OEM packages and other such uses that fall outside of a general license it would have to be worked out with the company on how they plan to use it.
I'm not looking to get rich off fonts, it's just a hobby I enjoy. Pretty much all the money i've made from it I've used to buy my software haha.
and those crazy contracts give me a headache haha!
best regards
Larry

The post is from 2010, so I don’t know if this changes the license retroactively, but the doubt definitely remains.
