Clicking on the link automatically downloads: http://www.xkcd.com/fonts/xkcd-Regular.otf

License = apparently Creative Commons https://github.com/ipython/xkcd-font

Okey that was scary, clicking a link and automatically downloading the file.

Is there any way you can change it to link to a website, where we can see a preview, for example, and download it from there? Automatic download without any explaination is a really bad user experience.

You're right, sorry. I've changed to post title to make it clear it's a direct download link.

By the way, this seems to be a slightly different version of the font: http://xkcd.com/1506/xkcd-Regular.otf

What is the license on this?

It'd be great to know before people start using it.
