The legal issues wouldn't be about @font-face's syntax and semantics. They'd be about whether the browser makers are liable for using fonts for which the license doesn't allow embedding. That is, font makers would be suing, not whoever invented @font-face, and they'd most likely be suing under copyright infringement, not under patent infringement. ~fantasai _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
