Whats legal and whats not seems to be pretty well established. I have
some gray areas for y'all.

I have a PS printer. I also own a set of Compugraphic outline fonts,
plus a tool to convert them to type 1 PS fonts, or Amiga (screen) bitmap
fonts.

Is it legal for me to distribute the bitmaps that I generate?

What about the PS fonts that _I generate_ from the CG outlines? I 
understand that a copyright is held by CG for their outlines, but
is the resulting PS program still covered by their copyright ? Yes ?
No ? Gray area ?

I don't have any plans to do these, I'm just curious.
