I don't think that adjustment would be a problem. There are lots of graphics programs like TypeStyler that programmatically alter the rendered outlines. And printers will often make slight adjustments to optimize output. I looked up Adobe's font license agreements*, and the relevant bit seems to be this paragraph: 14.7.4 You may convert and install the font software into another format for use in other environments, subject to the following conditions: A computer on which the converted font software is used or installed will be considered as one of your Permitted Number of Computers. Use of the font software you have converted will be pursuant to all the terms and conditions of this agreement. Such converted font software may be used only for your own customary internal business or personal use and may not be distributed or transferred for any purpose, except in accordance with Section 4.4 of this agreement. IANAL, but my reading is that for a customer of your app to extract the outlines and send them as part of a vector file to some sort of printer (like an embroidery machine or a laser-cutter) is fine. But for your app itself to include copies of font outlines would not be OK. —Jens * http://www.adobe.com/products/type/font-licensing/end-user-licensing-agreements.html _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
