How facts are checked

Font licenses, prices and file-format rules decide whether your product is allowed and whether your file will open. So every fact here comes from the source that sets the rule, with the date it was read.

  1. Go to the primary source

    The license text itself, or the company’s own terms, pricing or help page. If a fact can’t be traced to one, it isn’t published.

  2. Read it on the day and note the date

    Each fact is saved with its source URL and the date it was read. Prices are recorded as the page showed them that day.

  3. Retell it in plain words

    Pages summarize rather than copy. Direct quotes are rare and kept under 15 words, only when the exact wording matters.

  4. Show the source next to the fact

    Every fact on a page has a “Source” link and a “Last checked” date — currently September 27, 2026.

  5. Check again every three months

    All sources are re-read about once a quarter; the next round is due in December 2026. A page is also re-checked sooner if its source announces a change or someone reports one.

What counts as a source

Used

  • License files shipped with a font (for example the SIL Open Font License text)
  • Terms of use, license and pricing pages published by the company (Creative Fabrica, Canva and others)
  • Official help centers of the apps and machines involved, such as Cricut, Silhouette, Adobe and Apple
  • Seller policies published by the platforms themselves, such as Etsy and Amazon KDP
  • A company’s own how-to guide, only when no official source exists, and labeled as such (for example “a vendor guide, not Cricut”)

Not used

  • Other blogs, review sites and “best fonts” lists
  • Forum posts, social media and video comments
  • Answers from AI chatbots, including the one that helped build this site
  • Old copies of a page when the live page says something else

One fact, start to finish

The bubble letter generator says its SVG files avoid what Cricut Design Space can’t import. Behind that sentence is this record: 

{
  "value": "No live text, clipping paths, linked images or embedded raster images; more than 5,000 paths is too large",
  "sourceUrl": "https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009553213-Image-uploads-unsupported-items",
  "sourceLabel": "Cricut Help Center: Image uploads – unsupported items",
  "checked": "2026-09-27"
}

On the page, the plain-English version appears with its source line underneath, like this:

Design Space cannot use SVGs that still contain editable text, clipping paths, linked or embedded bitmap images, and it rejects files with more than 5,000 paths.

When the source isn’t clear

Calculated, not machine-tested

The lettering tools compute cut paths from font outlines, and the calculators do arithmetic on the numbers you enter and on the published prices. None of it is verified by cutting on a Cricut, Silhouette or laser, and pages that produce cut files say so. A short test cut on scrap material is always a good idea.

Tools that read a font file show what the file says about itself. A font maker can leave that information out or get it wrong, so the license that came with the font is still the final word.

Where AI comes in

FontCubby was built with the help of AI: it drafted the text and wrote the code. It is never treated as a source. Facts go on a page only from a saved record with a primary-source link, like the one above.
