Type Design Piracy [Bill Troop]

Pages by Bill Troop with examples of type design piracy. See also here. Articles include a comparison between Frutiger and Adobe's version of it, Myriad. Elsewhere, Troop states about this case: When Adobe pirated Frutiger in 1993, the designer complained, and Adobe sent Frutiger a letter explaining in seven dense pages, all the true differences there were between Myriad and Frutiger.

He also compared Porchez's Le Monde 94 to the 1993 Adobe Times font, which showed rather conclusively that Porchez the digital version of 1993 Adobe Times in point pirating.
