This project is based on BitmapFont, which is licensed under GPL3. So, I was wondering why this is licensed under CC0. Thanks!

I believe BitmapFont only GPLs the C++ program that parses the HZK*/ASC* data. The glyph data included in that project is collected from microcontrollers and DOS-era softwares. It’s known that companies at that era often use these data directly. However, since there is no clear copyright owner of these data, I think if you have strict requirements, you have to avoid projects using HZK*/ASC*.

I see. I understood the situation. Thank you very much!

and the HZK seems to be a national standard.
