   Yes, you could sell the font to the publisher for $1.  They could
read it, then sell it back.  That is the same as the example you have
given.  This would be fine if the publisher didn't sell the manuscript
for a profit.  But that would be like asking a lawyer not to make money.  

   Why don't you ask a lawer about the legalities of publishing a {paper,
article, book, journal} with licensed fonts?  The best place to do that
is in misc.legal.  Please direct all followups about this topic there.

   I'd like to hear more about how PostScript's stack can be used to it's
full potential.  There, see, I didn't waste an article.
