I contacted Adobe a while ago about whether one could post
their laserwriter screen fonts on a bulletin board for downloading.
Their answer was a very emphatic NO. They have put the fonts on
Compuserve but they definitely do not want them made available on any
other bulletin board. Now I'm not sure if they would consider anonymous
ftp to be the same as a bulletin board, but I suspect that they might
treat both similarly. I think someone should contact Adobe to get their
permission for what is being done here, but I doubt they will give
it. The legality of posting these fonts should be a serious concern.
