Double-edged sword there, I'm afraid. It could be argued that since nothing will deter hackers from figuring out and knocking off OT fonts anyway (e.g., using hacked copies of FontLab, etc.) OT fonts should be rendered transparent for users who legitimately wish to customise or refine their type without going through all the techno-hassle. Surely it's a difficult line to draw and not as straightforward as it seems at first glance. Regards, Victor Lee.
