[comp.sys.amiga] ATM use on other machines

rokicki@Neon.Stanford.EDU (Tomas G. Rokicki) (12/04/90)

Is it legal to purchase a copy of ATM, as designed for the Mac, and use
the fonts on other machines (such as the Amiga)?  (In other words, to
purchase ATM just to get the fonts?)

Sure it's legal, except you might find it more cost-effecient to buy
packs of TYPE 1 fonts.  The IBM ones are interchangeable with the Amiga
while Mac ones need to be converted.  PageStream works well with the IBM fonts.

Certainly a long as:

A) You give then their money. (i.e. Don't be a lamer)
B) Don't give it to anyone else. (Same)
C) Don't redistribute the fonts without paying big $$$$$.
