	‘Virtual Typography’: Time Perception in in Relation to Digital Communication by Matthias Hillner: Vol 14 ...
		Based on the argument that digital kinetic typography ought to be defined as virtual motion within three dimensions, this paper discusses the temporal-spatial relationship between the viewer and transitional text information.

	Copyright and Digital Typography
		Although the master computer program used to control the generic digitization process is protectible and may be registered, if original, this protection does not extend to the data fixing or depicting a particular typeface or typefont or to any algorithms created as an alternative means of fixing the data.
		Pictorial or digital representations of typeface designs, or any kind of more-or-less mechanical reproduction of them, such as bitmapped printer or screen fonts, are likewise not subject to copyright.
		And, most influential of all, the institutional environment in which digital type is created, organized chiefly around elaborate licensing agreements (in default of copyright protection), will continue to dictate for the forseeable future the terms under which high-quality professional typefaces can be obtained and used.
