While I haven't read the license for the PPT Viewer app, it probably only gives you the right to use those fonts with that particular application, or at least on that computer. I base this on the fact that the Microsoft Typography blog <http://www.microsoft.com/typography/links/NewsArchive.aspx>announced a few months back that these fonts were now available for individual licensing via Ascender for $299. Here's the press release<http://www.ascendercorp.com/pr/pr2007_06_07.html> .
According to Code Style's font survey<http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-CombinedResultsFull.shtml>, these fonts are only installed on about 30% of computers, so they're not ready quite for prime time. I presume they'll ship with Office:mac 2008, and of course as the installs of that and Office 2007 go up, using them will become viable. FWIW, sIFR <http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr>is a pretty cool utility to get custom fonts onto your pages without relying on a user having a particular font installed. It requires Flash, but it degrades very gracefully. And it's accessible. ·Dave ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
