The „Linodobe“ Library The „Linotype“ Library „Gold Edition 6.0“ This document lists the „copyright“ notices of the fonts contained in the Linotype Library „Gold Edition 6.0“, which is a precursor of the presently available „Gold Edition 1.7“ (see the documentation http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/lino17.pdf). Nearly 95% of the fonts of the „Linotype“ library „Gold Edition 6.0“ contain „copyright“ notices by Adobe Systems Inc. This means that the „Linotype“ library is a „Linodobe“ („Linotype-Adobe“) library, since Adobe Systems – via its copyright notices – claims to be the exclusive owner of the „intellectual property“ of 95% of the „Linotype“ Library fonts.1 Notwithstanding, font forger Bruno Steinert, who runs the Linotype font forging outfit, requests the idiots who want to buy „Linotype“ fonts to accept his „License Agreement for Font Software“, by which the idiots are expected to acknowledge his claim that the fonts are the „intellectual property“ of the Linotype outfit, although nearly 95% of the fonts are provided with the „copyright“ notice of the Adobe outfit claiming that these same fonts are the „intellectual property“ of Adobe. Example: The font „Melior“ (PostScript font file name ME______.PFB) is contained in both the „Linotype“ library „GoldEdition 6.0“ (see below) and in the „Adobe“ library „Font Folio 7“ (see the document http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/adobe7.pdf). This font file „Melior“ contains the following „copyright“ notice: „Copyright (c) 1985, 1987, 1990 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.“ Provided that this is not a fraudulent copyright notice, it means, that the Linotype outfit cannot own the „intellectual property“ to this „font software“. So, readers who sign the „License Agreement“ that the copyright to the „font software“ of „Melior“ is held by the Linotype outfit, although the copyright seems to be held (according to the font copyright notice) by the Adobe outfit, must be considered as mentally deranged. Readers who intend to buy „Linotype“ fonts, may inquire at criminal lawcourts, whether the Adobe „copyright“ notices contained in the font files are fraudulent copyright notices, or whether the Linotype outfit pretends to own intellectual property which it does not own. Those who are no idiots should insist that Linotype supplies expertises by independent lawcourt experts for each font (see http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/lino17.pdf). Ulrich Stiehl, Heidelberg, 18-June-2005 1 Only exactly 5,3% (= 107 fonts of the total of 1983 fonts in PostScript Type 1 format) bear the Linotype copyright notice, while most of the 100 TrueType fonts (see below pages 117-123), many of which are also available in PS Type 1 format, bear the Linotype copyright notice. Here the copyright notice contradictions are evident. Example: The „font software“ of the PS Type 1 font version „Wiesbaden Swing“ (= WN______.PFB) bears the Adobe copyright notice, and the „font software“ of the TrueType font version „Wiesbaden Swing“ (= WG______.TTF) bears the Linotype copyright notice. However, the PS Type 1 version was made one year earlier in 1992 by Adobe, while the TTF version was made 1 year later in 1993 by Linotype as an automatic font conversion with Fontographer (see below page 117) or any other font tool. This is the „Linotype Method“ (= the copyright notice forging method, see http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/forgers.pdf): Linotype opened the PS Type 1 font WN______.PFB with a font format converter, removed the Adobe copyright notice and replaced it by the Linotype copyright notice, and then resaved the font in TrueType format as WG______.TTF. That’s how font forgeries are made in the font forging industry. And the idiots who buy „Linotype“ fonts are requested to acknowledge that the „font software“ is the „intellectual property“ of the Linotype font forging outfit. „Linodobe“ Library – 1 – www.sanskritweb.net/forgers List of the PostScript Type 1 Fonts of the „Linotype“ GoldEdition 6.0 Note: The Gold Edition 6.0 also contains 100 TrueType fonts.
