Hello,

I've been asked to put together a couple of pages for our Corporation's intranet site about fonts and the legal issues that pertain to them. This would have to be short, sweet and to the point, but something more than just:

Don't steal fonts!

Feed the designers!

Don't steal fonts!

I'd love to hear your suggestions. If you could tell a massive corporation what they should know about fonts, what would you write? Better yet, can you do it in Power Point bullet point style so popular in the corporate world?

Thanks!

This might be a good place to start...

...although I think pt 6 is accurate others might disagree.

Thanks for the compliment. We do like to feed type designers here.

But, heck, Stephen! You're supposed to look at those ads and think, "I need to go out and buy that stuff right now!!" The marketing experts here wouldn't have a clue what to do with your reaction!

Thanks for the links, Si, Tiffany and Stephen.

More input is welcome, as well.
