Description

We have a self-hosted influx server running
InfluxDB v2.6.1
Server 9dcf880
Frontend: 5ba8e15

and recently got a legal claim from [Monotype](https://www.monotype.com) because we are hosting and using Proxima Nova, which is the default font of the influx ui. In theory, that claim could be made to every influx instance running on the public web (the login screen uses Proxima Nova).

How is Proxima Nova licensed? Does this license also apply to any self hosted instances? Is anyone else getting this legal claim?

Research direction

The issue mentions the self-hosted InfluxDB UI and the Proxima Nova font but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying where the default font is defined and reviewing the project's font assets and licensing records; done means documenting whether the font may remain bundled and used by self-hosted instances.
