wow, so you wouldn't even be allowed to make a derivative and continue
the same style due to their "intellectual property"... although I
seriously doubt they can claim any ip there, or I'll hereby claim
intellectual property on using condensed styles to consume less space
on a page for a text and thus saving printer ink *and* paper, and also
on outlined font styles and light weighted ones also to save ink. Oh,
and also on smaller font sizes.
That said, I doubt this technique really works for normal running text
print sizes.
