Can someone copyright a font?
Yes! Fonts are 'HUGE' assets in the computer world. Have you ever
heard of http://www.ascendercorp.com/ ?
Never heard of them; and I'm not sure what linking to that
communicates to me.
My intuition selling something under a license and having it protected
under copyright are not inherently the same thing. A license violation
is not inherently the same thing as a copyright violation.
Based on some minimal research; it looks like only scalable fonts are
copyrightable. ( http://nwalsh.com/comp.fonts/FAQ/cf_13.htm ).
Definitely seems like an interesting legal subject; but there is
probably no need to go deeper on the list
