<DIV>Beyond pariah status, as you are in the U.K., involvment in such a project
could subject you to civil or criminal liabilities. <BR><BR>>On 14 May 2009,

PM, Dave...<BR>>If it is legal (I'm not saying it is, I'm not even a USA
citizen), then<BR>>what is the problem? Remember that, in USA at least,
copyright is<BR>>privilege not a natural right.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Actually, in the United States, copyright, and other intellectual property
laws are taken very, very seriously.</DIV>
<DIV>But not in the case of typefaces. From my previous post: Material not
subject to copyright.: "mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering
or coloring;" - "Typeface as typeface."<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Does the text of that law "Material not subject to copyright", "mere
variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering or coloring", "Typeface
as typeface." seem insulting to anyone who as the purpose of their life and
career designs fonts/typefaces? Considering the amount of work which can go into
a font/typeface, the wording of that law must feel a bit
insulting.</DIV>
