    the argument here is ease of use it seems, not just use.
    we are all free to make raster images of the words we want to see in a particular face, the only complaint here is that it is not yet simple enough for you to select faces as simply as times, georgia helvetica etc.
    in comparison to a paper, it would take a scanner and some work to regenerate a font to appear as it does in print, however digitally, it takes a piece of software to extract the data

    fonts are software, allowed on one computer only, if digital distribution would have that on a server, or even temporarily on a users/visitors computer for the use of rendering your webpage in a custom face, you are then breaking your agreement during purchase
