there is another piece of ridicule here: while a majority of freeware developers only support truetype, most fonts from ITC, Agfa and Monotype are available in postscript and truetype variants (with some discussion about which format is better).
It should be interesting to the judge in such a case that the postscript format simply does not support an embedding control - the use of the font file is entirely controlled by a standard license agreement.
So the mere act of checking the PS rather than TT box on the order form could be interpreted as circumventing ... will DMCA invalidate order forms then?
