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.

Greetings
