I have been told that an article appeared in INFOWORLD between Nov 89, and

Jan, 15, 1990 concerning 4 font vendors that have formed a consortium to push
legislation relating to fonts.  Can some one please put me onto the article, 
and or the legislation?  I wish to read the article before forming any
conclusions, but it would appear to me,according to what was represented
to me, that the legislation would require a licence fee from anyone using
any device capable of generating a font.  Is this correct?  I'd appreciate
a pointer to the article, etc, and will post a summary if requested to by
more than 2 people

Cheers
Woody
