Re: Using Fonts in Banner Project

I'm not sure what a "banner pattern" is, but if the use of the font is licensed, I can't imagine how you would violate the license by using the font -- that's what they're for. You get licensed fonts with your licensed word processor, and you license additional fonts to add to the font library. Unless he's distributing the code that generates or displays the font, I can't see the issue.
