MS doesn't have exclusive right on Nazanin or Mitra. If you have not acquired your copy of Nazanin from Microsoft or Monotype, they are talking about another Nazanin.

That's the reason Borna Rayaneh could stamp its own copyright on their fonts. I know this from the discussions me and other HCI representatives have had with Sinasoft's CEO. They may have possibly sold a copy of the font with some non-exclusive rights to Monotype. But that's unrelated. roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
