There has been some discussion about a rumor that the Adobe PostScript screen fonts were placed in the pubic domain. Does anybody know if this is true ? Ok, lets try this: H E Y ADOBE ! Is this true ? Are the screen fonts really PD or is it just wishfull thinking ? You may as well post the answer to comp.sys.amiga, as we're all kinda inner rested. Well, actually I'm kinda tired, but thats not important right now.

Whats legal and whats not seems to be pretty well established. I have some gray areas for y'all. I have a PS printer. I also own a set of Compugraphic outline fonts, plus a tool to convert them to type 1 PS fonts, or Amiga (screen) bitmap fonts. Is it legal for me to distribute the bitmaps that I generate? What about the PS fonts that _I generate_ from the CG outlines? I understand that a copyright is held by CG for their outlines, but is the resulting PS program still covered by their copyright ? Yes ? No ? Gray area ? I don't have any plans to do these, I'm just curious. -- Ned. No, really.
