With the assumption that the audience of FontForge includes authors of both proprietary and libre fonts, I think that neither default is correct because one half of the audience will always be unhappy. The right thing to do would be to not have a default for this. FontForge could have a "proprietary or libre?" prompt at font creation time, when proprietary is chosen then a dialog could ask which of the individual embedding bits are desired to be set. The dialogs could explain the downsides of proprietary fonts and the downsides of the embedding bits for users, in an attempt to steer font authors away from making their work proprietary. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
