how does that process not end up with the exact same shape as the original? (and if it doesn't, how would that be a useful copy of the font?)

- bondarchuk 3y agoI think the font is seen as (analogous to) a "computer program". You can put the bezier control points in different locations but end up with the same shapes of curves overall. Same result (visually), but created with a different "computer program".
- mminer237 3y agoIt does, but it's still a different creative expression. You could legally recreate Microsoft Word pixel-for-pixel and just change the name without copyright issues because the code creating the exact same shapes would have differences and, most importantly, not be a literal copy but a recreation.
