    what if the font files were linked via the internet to a database which monitored the length of the trial... I guess there'd need to be a new font management application that linked back to the foundry

    so you download a trial version of the font to your trial-specific font manager, and it checks the temporary/trial license every time you use the font, and then it stops giving you access after 30 days

    or maybe the vector information is stored online only? so there's a web-based font manager, and you need to establish an account in order to test-drive the typefaces?

    I know it'd be complicated, but something along those lines should be doable, right?
