I'm acting as a bridge between you and olikraus so if this works I will ask him to include the DSEG-license.txt file.

A couple of things:

First, if you want to, you can actually create .bdf files from within FontForge: https://fontforge.org/docs/tutorial/editexample8.html#creating-bitmap-strikes and https://learn.adafruit.com/custom-fonts-for-pyportal-circuitpython-display/conversion

(Also, BDF is Adobe's Bitmap Distribution Format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph_Bitmap_Distribution_Format)

Second, as bdf is a bitmap format and Bitmap fonts are public domain in the United States, any .bdf file could not have any copyright on it (including the OFL) within the borders of the US. I may be wrong about this, but I believe that GitHub's servers are in the United States too IIRC.

Hi,
Could you try a conversion tool of some kind?
It seems to be possible to convert TTF to BDF with "Fony".

Thank you for the fast reply, I will try that.
Apart from the technical problem, are there any copyright issues if I convert and add the font to the U8g2 library?

Could you put DSEG-LICENSE.txt in the same folder as the converted font?
https://github.com/keshikan/DSEG/blob/master/DSEG-LICENSE.txt

And please use the converted BDF within the range of OFL1.1.
