Michael knows that for sure.

I could point out that "Swede" means not only "person from Sweden",
but also "turnip"; therefore, encoding "Swedish" would be embarrassing
and should not be done.

There is no (U.S.) copyright in the mere appearance of a font, nor in
a particular bitmap realization of it.
