They can do anything. > I believe there has to be some kind of standard (margins, font size, > structure...), but is making a propietary font standard right? It's not right, and the rest of the standard probably aren't right too for different reasons (e.g. much software uses narrow margins by default, making text too wide and harder to read). > And since the license of this font is propietary (says Wikipedia), is > it therefore incompatible with free software, such as LibreOffice for > example? They most probably won't notice if you use Nimbus Roman No9 L instead (the only differences that I notice are in the "S" serif slant and in diacritic marks).
