Let's say I use Lotus Manuscript to write a book. I then get a publishing house to agree to publish this work. What happens if there is a reason for using a very specific font for very specific things in the book. A font that the publishing house does not have and can't (won't, etc) buy because this is the only time they would ever use it. Does all this mean that I can't send a PS fiel to the publisher for printing by them because it would have the font included as part of the PS file that I generated through Lotus Manuscript??
