Yes.

And how can something suddenly be claimed as commercial, when it has been come with software from Microsoft since many years? I used it since Windows98 and word97. Does someone stray along, take something that is very old (I think the font has been designed in the early 30s, I once red) and that is not his own, nevertheless claim that now IT IS his own,installs a tool on my system and delete it from my HD...???

It not the first time this happens. Happened with another font last year, and with a third font I used in that text in question this time, I only used it to design huge introduction letters at the beginning of chapters. That one is gone, too.

I never have bought separate fonts and installed them! It is stupid to buy a font, when you already have plenty in our folder. And all fonts that you can find in your folder, you can also buy for 20-25 dollars at some site, even Arial and other often used standard fonts. It is ridiculous. Seen that way, ALL fonts in your font folder are "commercial".

Is there a way to extract the fonts from the Windows 98 or word 97 CD without installing the software? Two word version do not coexist, unfortunately. i learned that when changing to Word2002.
