Subject: Robert none of this is copyrighted this is PUBLIC DOMAIN

don't worry about the fonts I will call the copyright SWAT team to ensure they don't break down your door and seize your computer and files don't worry about the TEXT or copies of it, or images. (Font is SIZE the type is the TYPE of the artistic shapes of the letters- as in Type: Helvetica

Subject: Question about Copyright...

I wanted to make a series of open source or public domain fonts out of the alphabets, especially for ones I can't seem to find otherwise, but I want to be sure I'm not violating any copyright on the fonts.
Does anyone own or control the rights to the typefaces for the alphabets? Or has enough time passed from when it was printed for the typeface to enter the public domain?

As a review, there's not a whole lot to say... it's an amazing collection of alphabets, and I haven't seen any problems with the scans.
