Unfortunately, it was thought >that this could be a "trademark problem". Please let me know detail of "trademark problem". Michael took it as legal issue, but I'm afraid you meant different. I don't think it's less-problematic to distribute information "about" commercial fonts, if they don't have non-public part of the commercial fonts. I suppose what you meant was comprehensive research for existing commercial font is difficult work. If I'm misunderstanding, please correct. Regards, mpsuzuki
