So it's non-infringing for a malicious person to design a font that's basically garbage (albeit unique garbage for each character), and make the GNU Manifesto display in that font. Or would this count as obscuring the document? What if I just chose a really really hard to read font? Now I *really* don't see the point of invariant sections. Either you can do a simple cipher of them and not infringe, or you have to use the highest quality fonts and printing methods available... -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
