Hello, all. I just got Metamorphosis Pro and I've been converting several PS Type 1 fonts to TrueType. (What can I say- I like it! :) What I need to know is, if I convert copyrighted fonts (Say, Adobe Garamond) can these fonts then be distributed, or are they still copyrighted to Adobe? I recall a few months (maybe a year?) back that faces converted between formats were no longer copyrighted. I just wanna be SAFE before I go posting any of them to the InterNet. Thanks much for any/all help and advice! Bruce -- .sig? We don' need no steenkin' .sig!
