If that page is correct, typefaces are, in fact, <i>not</i> subject to copyright.<p>Font <i>software</i> can be copyrighted, which includes some formats of fonts that can contain bytecode.  But if the end product does not contain this code -- for example, hard copy or text reduced to curves -- it is not covered by the font file's copyright.<p>The page also states that decorative typefaces can be registered in the U.S. for a design patent, and typefaces in general can be a "Registered Graphic Design" in the E.U.  Presumably this is what the Hadopi guys have fallen afoul of.
