Oh, that was you feeling me? I thought it was a ghost -- stop it!

You are probably right. They're Psymon's fonts, so entirely his call. But yeah, I guess idiots will steal anything that isn't nailed down.

That's pretty much why I ended up deciding to just go with the SIL Open Font license for my fonts. I thought about selling them for the longest time, but talking with various "professional" type designers out there, I'd be lucky if I made $100/year from them, and that's just not worth the trouble of having to then declare myself a business, pay taxes, file quarterly reports and everything else.
And then I thought about having a license where only I could be giving them away via my site, just to make sure that other font sites don't have older versions, but invariably my fonts will probably end up "out there" anyway, and then what -- am I going to go after people on the other side of the world?
So I just said forget it -- with the SIL OFL, all those headaches are done with. It's a shame that inevitably older versions will end up out there, but what can ya do? If nothing else, it's a good Buddhist lesson in "non-attachment."
As far as my books go in which I'll use them, I doubt I'll ever subset them, if I can help it -- at least if people rip the fonts from my book, they're getting the full version of them (even if it means an extra meg or something in the total file size).
(PS. Still might take me a couple/few days to get back re that other stuff Tex mentioned -- lots going on at the moment.)
