I've used a few fonts from this site. They've each been a mess; A dozen
tiny curve segments and straight lines are used to form what could be a
single cubic Bezier curve. This leads me to believe that these "free"
fonts are algorithmically generated from pictures of un-free fonts.[1]
So, is it legal to use these fonts for semi-commercial designs? Is it
legal for me to clean them up? I'm considering publishing a few of my
private Zazzle shirt designs. Given the expected returns, paying for a
commercial license for even a single font is out of the question.

[1] BTW, WTF? The algorithm can't do better than this? Or is this the
output of some crappy fonting program?
