A "problem" in the minds of some may be that if TTF and OTF are required then new commercial and non-commercial markets would likely follow for web fonts that work with all popular applications, yet which are not restrictively licensed. In other words, demand would rise for fonts with fewer restrictions and supply would follow, diminishing the pricing power of vendors of restricted-license fonts. -t
