Thanks jan, The designer allready uses the font, and i am his client here. As ale advised on irc, i looked at the licence on the site, and could roughly understand that editing the doc that uses the font seems to be the question leading to a licence or not. So i dont need a licence in case the designer sends a PDF that i wont edit. JL
