Only the license has a real value. You have the right to use this font ,only and only because you have the program delivering it. Sandra can't if she haven't a corel prg like you. Fonts coming with a prg aren't redistribuable too... Even if you can find it on the web... Shareware fonts can only be tested, the use need to purchase a licence.
- Now, where are the limits between personal an commercial uses? Associations and organisations are considered as having a commercial status, depending of the country. - And if I publish a work on the web for exemple, by using a font like American typewriter ITC by BT? Legally and in theory, this is no longer a personal use too... So, yes I know, there is a lot of troubles about fonts and sometime all is not so clear. But fonts and especialy commercial ones "find" on the web isn't a reference.
