I think "symbol font" is the only generic around to use; alas, "symbol font" also includes math fonts and the like, which (in the US) aren't any more copyrightable than letter glyphs. > > The precedents in the United States are about fonts for letters. > > I don't know about (but I could be wrong) about any font precedents > whatsoever in Sweden, so TINLA, but we have copyright for anything > just as long as it's original enough.

So if that's so, it's a curiosity that isn't terribly relevant to the usual international context of free software. > I don't know if it can be called a font of letters because they don't > look like letters at all.
