Hey, I'm the leader of a indie game development team making a MMORPG and I'm a bit lost when it comes to legal issues with fonts.

Our 2d texture artist likes the Trajan Pro font and I agree that it would work well with our game, however the page for the font doesn't describe things very well.

Link - <http://store1.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1724.html>

What I want to know is, if I pay the $65 to buy the font, am I allowed to use it (and package it) in our game. Like players will have to download the font file onto there computer as part of our game files.

The license says it's for 5 end-user computers but that doesn't really help me in my situation. Any advice or info from anyone?

Cheers,
Andrew.
