Ugh, I've obviously never tried it or I'd have been saying no way, myself. I'd have to see it but normally anything software that has anything like that, even registration, is way to much like slaveryware for my taste, and it's gone off my system faster than it downloaded in the first place! For awhile imagemagick required MSCorefonts, with a similar EULA/ whatever, and (after I filed a bug) I put the corefonts package in package.provided and that was it. It didn't actually need it anyway, except for a specific operation I never tried, at runtime. Now they control that with the truetype USE flag IIRC, so I have it in package.use with that flag turned off -- the only package on the system with it turned off. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
