Hi Phil! 2008/11/10 Philip TAYLOR <P.Taylor@rhul.ac.uk>: > > I want to see the tradition of high-quality type design carried on, > and if this can be accomplished only through the use of DRM, > then that is a price that I for one am willing to pay. It is a controversial claim indeed that the tradition of high-quality type design can only be carried on with DRM fonts. No one should not accept that as an unexamined assumption, which it often passes for in this topic. I personally don't believe it is true at all, and plenty of other web designers have voiced this opinion. Here's just one example: "As a designer, I can only speak for myself to say that if OTF and TTF were supported, regardless of how easy it was to steal the file, I would still pay as required by the EULA. I have a strong feeling the vast majority of my colleagues feel exactly the same." - http://jontangerine.com/log/2008/10/font-face-in-ie-making-web-fonts-work -- Regards, Dave
