Hi Carl,

Since Abraham is relicensing his fonts to make them proprietary (and I make no 
bones about the use of that term), font foundries normally deny you this first 
freedom that you are assuming. I assume Abraham will not supply this freedom 
either. Typically a text font may not be used any way you wish. Of course you 
can use it to typeset whatever you want, but that is not the freedom in 
question. If you purchase a commercial font you are restricted by licence to 
the number of desktops thay may use it, or are restricted to desktop, or web, 
or app, or ebook, each with a different licencing structure. It’s hardly free. 
Take a look at any contemporary font vendor licencing and pricing page. I would 
be suprised if Abraham did support freedom #0.

Andrew

commercial fonts don't support this freedom.
