Yes, you could sell the font to the publisher for $1. They could
read it, then sell it back. That is the same as the example you have
given. This would be fine if the publisher didn't sell the manuscript
for a profit. But that would be like asking a lawyer not to make money.
Why don't you ask a lawer about the legalities of publishing a {paper,
article, book, journal} with licensed fonts? The best place to do that
is in misc.legal. Please direct all followups about this topic there.
STOP discussing it here!
