> A typeface can not be copyrighted: This depends on the country, though. You're right when it comes to US law, but this is in the UK, which has different laws. Though if I'm interpreting the Wikipedia article right, it appears that in the UK only original typefaces can be copyrighted, not revivals. > As an aside I've always found it completely bizarre how of all the digital media used on a web page, for some reasons fonts have copyright restrictions built into them, but nothing else does. This is a very old restriction, and it predates computers. It was designed to prevent a malicious individual from copyrighting the alphabet.
