Re: Can I use fonts in designs?

I took a quick look at Comicraft. One shouldn't confuse the right to distribute a file containing a typeface definition (a so-called "font") with the typeface itself. Once you buy/license the font, copyright isn't implicated through the distribution of works containing the font's typeface. Whether or not a software license for a font could restrict such distribution in an enforceable way, I don't know. I haven't seen any case law on point. At very least, before you buy/license a font, you should first ensure that the license doesn't purport to limit your use of the typeface (or works containing it). - Jeff
