Information International Inc. has filed a patent suit against
Apple and Adobe, claiming that PS violates a patent on scaleable
font descriptions to printer controllers  that III aquired from 
Rockwell.

``III claims that it's patents cover printer descriptions of 
virtually all types of scalable fonts, which could conceivably
cover new font technology being developed for Apple Commputers 
System Software Release 7.9'' According to the June 5 issue
of EE Times.

Sounds almost as bad as the ``we have a patent on XOR cursors''
debacle.
