Just curious…is the name "Century" trademarked by anyone?
Also, other than competitive fairness, is there any reason why a typeface can't have the same name as another typeface, even if they look nothing alike?
On advice of counsel, until I receive a definitive answer to the email cited directly below, all of
which follows this disclosure shall be deemed to be hypothetical. Consequently, as soon as the sole
question asked in said email is answered to my satisfaction, I will release all who may read these
and the following words from their bond of Willing Suspension of Disbelief, at a time and in a
manner of my choosing. My word is my bond.
Here begins the formal recitation, copied verbatim and pasted unaltered herein:

Sir,
As a party to a potential lawsuit involving actual monetary loss and irreparable damage to my
personal and professional reputation, I leave it to your discretion to advise me of my best course
of action as outlined here—
http:/ /www.supremecourt.gov /ctrules/ tocounsel_07rulesrevisions .aspx
Note: two additional single spaces have been placed between otherwise contiguous elements in order
intentionally to avoid algorithmic misinterpretation of the contents of this message.
My dilemma: I have a potential lawsuit form monetary damages, which makes me an interested party.
The potential plaintiff, curiously, controls the most extensive inventory of Supreme-Court-approved
typefaces. Therefore, there are no disinterested parties to this suit, and therefore the majority
of the parties involved—defendant, plaintiff, nor the Supreme Court itself—have an enormous
disincentive to comply with the amicus curiae provisions of this ruling—unless, of course, the
meaning of the term "certain" is certainly, indisputably and indubitably unambiguous when said
brief is filed.
For reasons which should be painfully obvious by now, should the highest court in the land become a
party to this hypothetical suit, who is duly authorized to disambiguate.
Yours in confusion,
