For Scotch_Roman:
(the offending paragraphs from the HF&J EULA)3.1. Embedding. "Embedded Documents" are those which contain a copy of the Typefaces, or data describing the shape or outline of any part of the Typefaces. Embedded Document formats include, but are not limited to: Acrobat (or other) files employing the Portable Document Format ("PDF"); Cascading Style Sheets ("CSS") employing the "@font-face" tag; Macromedia Flash (or other) files employing TrueDoc; and documents employing Web Embedding Font Technology ("WEFT"). You may not create Embedded Documents, except as expressly provided in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3:
3.2. Workflow PDFs. For the sole purpose of providing documents to printers or other outside suppliers for reproduction, H&FJ grants you a limited license to create and circulate Embedded Documents in the PDF format ("Workflow PDFs") subject to the following restrictions: (a) these Workflow PDFs must have "subsetting" enabled, to limit to the greatest extent possible the number of characters of the Typefaces embedded; (b) Workflow PDFs must be configured to be "non-editable," to prevent the alteration, addition, deletion or extraction of any text, by any party other than the licensee; (c) Workflow PDFs must be transmitted individually, on a one-to-one basis, over a closed network. Under no circumstances will this Agreement be construed to entitle you or your agents or assigns to broadcast Workflow PDFs, or any form of Embedded Documents, over public computer networks, including but not limited to publicly accessible pages on the World Wide Web.
3.3 Flash Files. For the sole purpose of creating vector graphics for inclusion on web pages, H&FJ grants you a limited license to create and circulate Embedded Documents in the SWF format ("Flash Files"), subject to the following restrictions: (a) Flash Files must have "subsetting" enabled, to limit to the greatest extent possible the number of characters of the Typefaces embedded; (b) Flash Files must be "static," not "dynamic," as to prevent any party other than the licensee from specifying, selecting, copying, cutting, pasting or modifying the text that is displayed in the Typefaces; (c) Flash Files must be configured to "Protect from Import."
4. Non-Embedded Digital Formats. For the sole purpose of publishing electronic documents (such as web pages) that use the Typefaces, but that are not Embedded Documents, H&FJ grants you a limited license to distribute images of the Typefaces in industry-standard digital formats (collectively "Image Files") solely for the purposes set forth herein, subject to the following restrictions: (a) Image Files must feature fixed images of specific applications of the Typefaces rasterized in a pixel grid; (b) Image Files must not feature scalable or non-scalable outlines of the Typefaces, or permit the extraction or extrapolation of scalable or non-scalable outlines of the Typefaces; (c) Image Files must not permit the alteration of the text by any third party; (d) Image Files must not include more than 50% of the character set of any individual style of the Typefaces; and (e) no character featured in Image Files may be greater than 500 pixels in height. Image Files include, but are not limited to: Joint Photographers' Expert Group ("JPEG") files; Graphics Interchange Format ("GIF") files; Portable Network Graphics ("PNG") files; Tagged Image File Format ("TIFF") files; non-vector Picture ("PICT") files; and Bitmap ("BMP") files.
- I have a tendency to call them HF&J instead of H&FJ.5timuli
- So... no embedding, no outlining, no raster characters larger than 500 pixels high (and at 300dpi that's only 1.67").5timuli
- "no character featured in Image Files may be greater than 500 pixels in height." I wonder how this applies to signage/display?5timuli
- Never mind, stupid question, that's not digital. 8~/5timuli
