Very short version: 

[So, is pseudonymous usage with attribution notice as written below allowed by the author, even when pseudonym isn't a real name? So, is using a font for a text document (for any time, for any number of documents) considered an "unauthorized change"? Is it allowed?]

Medium version.

I don't know, maybe I failed to communicate that, but the questions were "do you allow pseudonymous use, with the specific text that was presented above" and "is a change of using the font as a font to create texts allowed" while using the font according the license. (The time of usage of the work is not limited [indefinite], the works count is unlimited.) 

The possible answers are therefore: "Yes, I do allow pseudonymous use, with the specific text that was presented above" or "No, I do not allow..." (with the same text), and "a change of using the font as a font to create texts is allowed" [is not allowed] - for any amount of time (indefinite time period), for any number of documents, when using the font according to the license.

Long version.

Thanks for comment. I understand that might be boring to read, anyways. Sorry about that.

No, it's not true that the license isn't valid in my country. The license, really, is valid in my country. I'm pretty sure that, in my country, that's a valid license and a valid way to license works.

The problem is... so-called "moral rights" of the author. While these licenses are perfectly valid in my country, authors may have right to choose how they are to be attributed, and they may forbid some modifications to their work.

What I want to do is to simply use fonts for my text works (for infinite time, for infinite amount of works, to "use as a font"). The attribution message I want to insert is: "Шрифт: автором является GGBotNet, https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.en , название работы и источник - https://ggbot.itch.io/jupiteroid-font , приспособлено под данный документ, но не изменено.".

What I don't want to get is a lawsuit about the fact that "real name wasn't inserted in an attribution message" or "the work was changed without author's permission". Considering the latter, there is a change right that is not licensiable, and instead remains at a sole discretion of an author "not as the rights owner, but as an author". (The question is about that right.) It's also dubious that using a font actually will trigger that "change" right, as the letters themselves are not changed, and a text document is created instead.

In short, I don't think there is any real problem with usage of the font, because the licenses are accepted in my country. But:

[this may be translated]

1) can I use the font, following the license (for infinite time, for infinite amount of works, to "use as a font" in works), without inserting an author's real name, just with inserting a pseudonym (a name that isn't real, but is used by the author in the Internet). The full attribution notice will be as written above? Can you allow this usage? If you would instead to prefer to be attributed by real name, by what name (if you, of course, agree to be published here with the real name) do you want to be attributed?

2) don't simple normal usage of a font - for my text works (for infinite time, for infinite amount of works, to "use as a font" in works) - consitute a "change" that is not allowed by the author, if the work is used while following the license? Can you allow this usage?

[this is the end of the text that may be translated, "yes" = да, "no" = "нет"]

If I would get a proof that these uses are normal and not violations, at least I could say something to a court in case of a lawsuit.

Some more notes: 

1. The licenses like this ARE actually allowed in my country. I'm sure about it. But there are still possible risks of a "moral rights trolling", like saying that the pseudonymous name isn't the real author's name, and this is a violation, or the author forbids a "change" (though the last one is dubious and will probably fail).

2. Of course, the best thing you can do is not to reuse works. However, people need to write text in the Internet somehow, including in documents, and some people just use the first font they find without reading any licensing conditions. Every action incurs risks, anyways, and sometimes not only legal. There are also patents, for example (this probably isn't patented anyway, but if it would be patented, the risks still would be there).

3. If not a secret, do you have any plans on sueing reusers?

Anyways, thank. But if I would get info that pseudonymous usage (with above notice) and a change "using this as a font inside of the text work" is explicitly allowed for infinite amount of works, for infinite amount of time and isn't in violation of any moral rights, as the author thinks, I would be very glad? 

All I want to know is can I use a name instead of pseudonym (and insert an above-looking attribution notice) and can I "change" the font by using it in documents, if it would be considered "change". I don't think it's a hard question, though...

Anyways, thank you.
