A user should be allowed to make use of the large amount of fonts site on his hard disk. Especially desktop publishing applications. Legal embeding of font is not a specific problem to cloud computing. Desktop applications had that problem since day one. So it is not like suddenly this is a problem. Just solve it like it's always been, through legal system. I think that HTML5 aims more than just web browsering anymore. There are much broader vision ahead.
