Come to think of it I'm not even sure which law protects a font.
Open the font folder (in windows: Control panel: Fonts): Properties: Details tab: Copyright

If you have an 'Office' type suite (eg Wordperfect 8 pro), you have personal use of any of those hundreds of fonts on the accessory CD.

If you want a headache, start reading the license terms. They are by Foundry. And they vary, a whole lot
