Copyright law, and licensing rules come into play here. > If a person has purchased a font for their use, then they are allowed to > embed that font into their documents. That literally depends upon what the terms of the license that the font is sold/leased under state. Commercial foundries typically have licensing for: * Desktop use only; * Document embedding only; * Internal document use only; * External document use only; * Intra-web use only; * World Wide Web use only; * ePub use only; * PDF use only; Use the font for a purpose for which one does not have a license, and you face a lawsuit that at best, you lose. > I just think that y'all are too lazy to incorporate embedding into your > software. Font licenses are so tricky, that if you don't have a lawyer explain just what your license allows, you will violate the license. No ifs, ands, or buts. I am not a lawyer.
