Font copyright on systems with graphic LCD

2008-06-03 by Tim Mitchell

Hello folks, we are designing an AVR-based device which uses a graphical
LCD, and the Ramtex graphics library software. This can import truetype
fonts for use on the device, but warns that doing so may infringe the
font copyright. We are working with some designers who are keen to use a
particular Linotype font which is definitely copyrighted.

Does anyone know any further information about font copyright on
embedded devices, because all my web searching has found is a lot of
uncertainty over the issue.
