Comment AGFA's own website inconsistent (Score 2, Insightful) 429
I found this on the agfamonotype website:
There are four levels of embedding with TrueType and OpenType font data. These levels are set by the font developer, and written into the font data. The user cannot change the embedding level. [my emphasis]
Is it possible that AGFA's VP of Marketing, believing his own communications department got overly excited about a program that does something that cannot be done?
Kudos to Tom7 for not only standing up to these guys, but in doing so by beating them at their own game with a well-researched, thoughtful rebuttal argument. Perhaps if more people stood up to "official and forceful" sounding lawyer's letters, fewer of these things would end up in court and we could bleed the lawyers a little of their ill-gotten fees.
