[svlug] Using True Type fonts in Xwindows (Is this sacriledge?)

[Harry Souders]

I downloaded and installed xfstt (It let's you use TrueType fonts 
under Xwindows) last night. So far it's pretty spiffy, particularly 
when using Netscape.

I was wondering if anyone else has experimented with it or any 
similar programs?

Also, I wonder if there would be legal ramifications (like say if the 
program caught on and gets M$'s attention) on using/distributing such 
a program? 

To me it seems like fair game. Microsoft has been borrowing from *nix 
for years. I say it's only fair that I be able to use the fonts I 
paid for on my Linux box. Then again, what's fair and what's legal 
aren't always the same...
