Hi Matthew, The Monotype Library Subscription has a lot of benefits for a designer, but it is a rental service, which is the explanation for the architecture. It's not malware by any means. I think it is fair to protect the IP rights of type designers.
I am just happy to have access to thousands of exceptionally high quality font designs for my publishing and design work.

That's what malware does, and things that do it, are quacking like malware. But my ethics aren't the question here. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
