Yes, the status of the resulting typeface is somewhat complicated. My cursory investigation indicates that typefaces are not protected in the United States based upon the 1976 Copyright Revision. However, the United States has also obligated itself to respect the intellectual property rights of various other countries under international treaties. Therefore, it is plausible that the typeface could be protected in the United States if is protected by another country.
Regardless, my goals are to protect the "user's rights to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute the program" that generates my typeface. I am also interested in protecting my trademark claim on the name of the typeface. I am not all that concerned about protecting the actual images generated by my program describing the typeface.
