I am looking for information on copyrighting of computer/printer fonts.
I know that the font _names_ are registered and so on, but what is the
protection granted to fonts?  Specifically, if a font is copyrighted,
will the copyright apply if:
	- the font is edited and changed into a different style
	- the font is transformed into a different style and/or size
	- the font file is converted into a different format (e.g.
	  for a different printer)
I guess what I want to know is whether the copyright covers the font
_file_, or the _design_ of the font.

Comments on both US and Canadian legislation will be appreciated; if
possible, include references in your response.  Thanks in advance.

Please respond by email; I will summarize to the net if there is interest.
