This isn't true according to a patent lawyer wikipedian,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Terrycarroll - who wrote
http://www.tjc.com/copyright/typeface.html - who has written in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface#Legal_aspects :

"Many western countries extend copyright protection to typeface
designs. However, this has no impact on protection in the United
States, because all of the major copyright treaties and agreements to
which the U.S. is a party (such as the Berne Convention, the WIPO
Copyright Treaty, and TRIPS) operate under the principle of "national
treatment", under which a country is obligated to provide no greater
or lesser protection to works from other countries than it provides to
domestically produced works."
