The TrueType font files, & derivatives of those files, are subject to copyright. Copying the design, with printouts of those fonts, is fine. Treat the font file as a program. Slightly modifying it so, say, the points on the curve are a 1/1000th off doesn't get you off the hook. On printouts - I'm saying on paper, not PDF - the program is obviously missing, along with information on kerning & whatnot. I've recreated a font from print, & the legal research I did made me comfortable with openly sharing the results.
