- jcl 17y agoIf that page is correct, typefaces are, in fact, not subject to copyright. Font software can be copyrighted, which includes some formats of fonts that can contain bytecode. But if the end product does not contain this code -- for example, hard copy or text reduced to curves -- it is not covered by the font file's copyright. The page also states that decorative typefaces can be registered in the U.S. for a design patent, and typefaces in general can be a "Registered Graphic Design" in the E.U. Presumably this is what the Hadopi guys have fallen afoul of.
