That's true. But also, it seems absurd to me that people care enough about fonts to pay money for them. To me, there are only 5 fonts in the world:
* any Serif font (Times, etc, they all look the same except for 1-pixel differences)
* any Sans serif font (Arial, Helvetica, it's all the same thing)
* Serif monospaced (Courier)
* Sans serif monospaced (Consolas etc)
* Silly unreadable fonts like Papyrus. Sure, technically, there are lots of these, and they do look different, but there's no reason to use one of these, unless you just want to make your site difficult to read.
