That is stealing of IPR of others.
This is an altogether different line of argument from whether Unicode is a standard, or whether the Unicode Consortium standardizes fonts. If any font vendor who is a member of the Consortium had their IPR stolen, you can bet they will take appropriate corporate action. I find it hard to imagine that any of the Consortium companies did the stealing. Beyond that, this is not really a matter for the Consortium. A "Unicode font" is not one that contains glyphs taken from the Unicode site or from any vendor's font. The Consortium has stated this repeatedly, in the FAQ and elsewhere. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | http://www.ewellic.org RFC 5645, 4645, UTN #14 | <link removed due to spam filters>
