Safari 3.1 offers support for standard font formats for the first time – demo.
A vivid debate among browser companies and fount foundries was the
result. While the foundries want commercial fonts to be protected from
bootleg copies and unlawful use of fonts that are subject to licensing,
browser companies do not feel obliged to claim the foundries̓ copyrights.
Just like with assets such as pictures, video or text, which copyrights are not
controlled by the browser itself, the content providers were obliged to
declare copyright protected fonts used on their Web sites, browser
companies argue.
