1) last I knew, there were typeface copyright laws in Germany and UK (and France for the Romain du Roi only). If the situation is different now, is there somewhere I can read about this? 2) last I knew, the law in Germany was not retroactive, while the law in Britain was, but was so strangely worded the actual meaning of the retroactivity was not clear. (E.g., could someone copyright Baskerville? That would be absurd, although that is no impediment to lawyers, I know.) And I think the font designs under discussion predate the copyright laws (presuming MS registered them in the possible countries in the first place), so ... > People will also have documents that use specific font names.
