re: copyright-ability of fonts. That's a muddy area. The visual representation of the font cannot be copyrighted. I can make a font that looks like yours with no copyright concern. If I copy the code that creates the visual representation (i.e. the binary definition of the font) that may be a concern. That could be considered program code (particularly for vector fonts, but I could see an attorney trying to argue that for bitmaps, similar to assets for a game), which is protected by copyright.
