I just looked over the font chart for my old Graphic Systems C/A/T-4
phototypesetter (dated 9/77) and found many examples of renamed fonts.
There were no acknowledgements of copyright or trademark holders, however.
Is it the case that GSI may have made some tiny change to the fonts to
avoid prosecution?

Some examples:

	GSI name	Well-known name

	Suave		Avant Garde
	Beaumont	Baskerville
	Orleans		Optima
	Pontiac		Palatino
	Sovran		Souvenir
	London		Times
	Boston		Univers
