------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 11 08:45:46 +0000 2008 ------- I hope this feature will never be implemented, because it would be a legal nightmare for whatever user. Here: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsi&format=file&media_id=UNESCO_Font_Lic_PDF&filename=UNESCO_Font_Lic_PDF.pdf you can find a "Font copyright for dummies" document made by an independent organization like UNESCO that explains in few words how difficult would be, legally speaking, to manage documents with proprietary fonts embedded. There would be issues not only for the original creator of the document, but for the authors of *derivative* works too, if they won't know which font is embedded under which license. In the professional world of press, publishing, journalism and in any case in which a document will have derivative elaborations, such a feature may cause unknown liabilities for breaching of font licensing terms both for the original author and other people/organization who will manage a specific document. And, IMVHO, a warning window for the original author that embeds fonts isn't enough to avoid problems for other people who use the document for other (large scale, on line, administrative, commercial) purposes. Any analysis about the implementation of this feature should include more cons than pros. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
