The original poster argued that companies would like to use certain custom-designed fonts inhouse only, which would be ensured by firewalls. I wanted to say that a company would use the same custom-designed fonts inhouse and for outside communication. Now you say that in most cases, there is a difference, but the custom-designed fonts are used for outside communication, and the generic ones inhouse. This rather clearly makes firewalls useless for the protection of custom-designed fonts. Regrads, Martin.
