According to the Wiki the school requires us to use certain fonts for headers and body text. Apply this accordingly.

Do we have copyright for all this?

Be very careful when it comes to redistributing fonts.

Perhaps it is a good idea to paste the font declarations to this issue in order to document that we do not violate some copyright.

There are numerous court cases where font redistribution has caused major issues, and it is good to be careful and document these things so that the decisions can be traced back.

Right now, the app uses the google font IBM Plex Mono, font declaration:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&family=IBM+Plex+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');

It goes under the open fonts license, so it should be fine to use.

The proposed fonts, Agenda and Trump Mediaeval, are owned by adobe and linotype (distributed on MyFonts) respectively, so we would need a license if we were to use them.

The alternative fonts, Arial and Georgia belong to microsoft and comes preinstalled on a lot of machines, and according to their faq we are allowed to use these in our css font stack, as long as we don't upload the fonts to the server
