Having the UA be able to save the fonts will be an interesting idea. Doing so would have some legal implications for the UA to have access to the font EULA so the font software (yes, fonts are classified as software!) to be installed. We should also expose "click" to purchase capabilities to allow people to be honest if the font is a commercial font.

If I do this with a page containing @font-face webfonts, I expect the fonts for that page to be copied with them. The "save image as" action of the most UAs allows me to save a copy of an image on its own. Why not the same for a font? -- Regards, Dave
