[geeks] Typography Question

[Kevin]

It was my understanding that only the names of fonts could be
copy-written/trademarked and that there was no way to actually do
so with the shape as there are no defining methodologies in
place.  This was supposed to be why you see so many fonts that
are identical but have different names.
