[Hidden-tech] Fonts for a Mac

[Lynne Rudié]

Different people interpret this in different ways. In practice, most  
printers have licenses for most fonts. My understanding is that a font  
which you own can be sent to a printer with one of your jobs whether  
or not the printer owns a license for it. If the printer doesn't own a  
license for that font then they aren't supposed to use it for any  
other purpose than for outputting that particular job.
