As far as I understand copyright issues, you can't copyright a name of any sort, but you can trade mark it. Considering that the glyphs are the actual artwork within the font, I believe copyright would protect them, and so wouldn't copying them in any way be a breach? -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/Received on Thursday, 24 August 2006 11:56:51 GMT
