I probably should have stressed the possiblility of copyright violations
when I posted my suggestion for converting Mac fonts to something that
is more readily accessible.

The fonts I have are only being used on one machine and with one printer
only. It is my understanding that this is perfectly legal, even though
I've translated the fonts into more than their original format. If Adobe
has a problem with that, well....

I'm not sure if the restriction is one copy per computer, or one copy
per printer, or what. I've heard that it's OK to purchase an Adobe font,
and distribute it to all the people on the network who print to the
same printer. I've also heard that you can't do that. And what about
ATM, if the first is true? Anybody at Adobe care to clear this up? And
any other font vendors who might have a different policy?
