It depends on the font's license, to be honest. But, if you convert the text to a path, you're no longer embedding the font file itself; you're just using the shapes the font creates, essentially turning it into artwork. However, some commercial fonts have stricter licenses that restrict any use without a license, even when outlining. 

So, check the license - if it's Google fonts or another open source, then you're usually safe, but if it's paid, then read the license, or buy the commercial license 

If the font is part of your OS and the license allows its use commercially than you are OK.

If it's a font you have installed check the conditions of the license.

One does wonder however why you need a single letter SVG. There may be better ways to do what you are doing.

It depends on the font’s license.

In most cases, converting text to SVG paths (outlines) does not automatically remove licensing requirements. If the font license restricts commercial use, those restrictions usually still apply even after converting letters to paths.

Some fonts explicitly allow:

Commercial use

Logo use

Converting to outlines

Others do not.

What to do safely:

Check the font’s license (OFL, Apache, SIL → usually safe)

If it’s a paid or restricted font, get a commercial license

Use open-source fonts (Google Fonts) for worry-free commercial work

When in doubt, assume a license is required.

Even if you convert a font to an SVG path, the original font’s license still applies. Outlining the letter turns it into shapes, but if the font restricts commercial use, you still need a license. Open-source fonts like Google Fonts or those under OFL/SIL/Apache licenses are safe for commercial use. For paid fonts, always check the license or purchase the commercial version to stay compliant.
