That's true. I believe Microsoft cloned Helvetica and called it Arial, where even all the font metrics are identical to make sure font substitution works automatically. (If I remember correctly.) They did it for many typefaces, and I don't believe they payed any royalities since they had to change the names.

Update: Bejeweled replies to Rockbox Posted Apr 19, 2006 12:57 UTC (Wed) by job (subscriber, #670) [Link] This turned out to be a bad example after some Googling. Apparently Microsoft hired Monotype for this work, who were too professional to completely clone the typeface and it turned out quite different (not as nice, in my opinion) with only identical metrics. But I'm sure there are other, better, examples.
