I use a font that I am not allowed to distribute. Can a DRM server protect that folder from player access or is there another way to lock the font folder?
Can DRM server prevent player from accessing the font folder?

what are the exact terms of the font?
if you're not allowed to distribute then there is a good chance that you also aren't allowed to use it in a game.
it depends on the exact wording of the terms. -
I am allowed to use it to display scores, dynamic text, etc. I asked to font owner and they agreed but said the way rmmv exposes to font folder to players would be like distribution.

no, a drm server would not help as it would not prevent the download and use of the file on the player computer - you'll need to encrypt the fontfile, and ask the font creator if distributing an encrypted fontfile (which means that someone else has to hack the game if they want it) would be enough.
And you need to know that any encryption can be hacked if someone is really interested.
However, you need to get that licence in writing for it to be legal. -
I guess i will have to look for a programmer or a special software to encrypt it and have the game run properly. Anyway, thanks for the answers.
