I can't tell if you're saying "we shouldn't do this" or "we don't need to worry about getting sued", so I'll answer both.

If you're saying I shouldn't risk violating their copyrights by doing this, you should head over to pretty much every reverse engineering project in existence and let them know that they need to stop. I checked the instruction manual for my Nexus S, and there's a note saying I may not reverse engineer the proprietary components of it. That is completely unenforceable; it's my device and they have no authority over me.

If you get a copy of something, it's your copy, and you should have the freedom to do whatever you want with it. It's the natural extension of the rights we have with physical goods; copyright is an unfair artificial monopoly.

If you're saying that we don't need to worry about getting sued, I think we do. But I like fonts enough to think that it's worth it. Just in case, I've asked for legal advice: http://redd.it/1yszn8
