Hoefler Text, as sold at its site, also forbids the distribution of SVG logos.

"You may not create Embedded Documents, except as expressly provided
in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3:" "3.2. Workflow PDFs" "3.3 Flash Files."

I personally propose the adoption of Junicode font family for all
Latin-based logos.
