My understanding of font/typeface copyright issues, and this may be
totally wrong, is that the font _file_ is copyrighted so you can't send
the font _file_ to someone else, but that the shapes of the letters are
not, so there's no limitation on what you've written out using it.

Of course it's still mildly annoying. :)
