Jayasri,

EULA is the abbrevation for the "End User License Agreement" that is associated with the product. It varies from type foundry to foundry -- and also by how the font is distributed by a particular foundry. For example, you can have more generous uses detailed if you purchase the font vs if you acquire.

From what I can tell from the language you quoted, Microsoft does not allow you to edit/modify and repackage the font as your own creation.

A subset of the font is not the complete font, but just the characters needed for the particular document. For example, you will see this as an embedding choice when creating PDFs with Acrobat Distiller. 

      I often can't find true italic and bolded versions and the client sends
      me the regular font asking me to add italic and bolding.




Careful here. Under many circumstances, foundries will not let you "lend" or "borrow" a font -- you are expected to purchase your own licensed copy of it from the foundry or the foundry's licensed agent for use of the font to be legal. Otherwise, it could be deemed "piracy", which gets attorneys snapping their suspenders in eager anticipation.

As for a font that does not have true bold or italic, what happens when you select those variants from the application's font Style palette? Do you get a true bold/italic? Or do you just get an electronic bastardization?

Normally, there are no legal problems with electronic outlining, etc. for the job at hand. But you cannot sell any changed fonts.

Does this help?
