OK on Ubuntu is actually usr/local instead of opt. This is what the (c) statement says: "? 2000, 2004 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. U.S. Patent D454,582" Having never (knowingly) ventured into (c) fonts - what does this actually mean? Does it mean I can't distribute the font but can use it for any purpose - eg to create a PDF and embed the font/subset the font? I expected that there would be some reference to a licence - but all I can see is the basic (c) statement. However the two sites I was looking for were probably identifont.com myfonts.com (whatthefont) Neither have come up with a hit yet!
