I suppose them to be disallowed. The purpose of trademarks is to
guarantee than the product is produced by the trademark holder. For

The string is not trademarked, but it put limits on what the
users can do when they rely on software using such strings. If we
can't modify helvetica to support the recent 8859-15 encoding, our
