In response to a query on exactly *how* to use Font Creator Program (FCP) to do the above: 1. Open the font file 2. On the menu bar, pulldown General->Metrics...this opens the Metrics window. 3. Be sure the General tab on Metrics window is selected. 4. In the center-right of window is the field "Font Embedding Licensing Rights" -- pulldown/select "Installable". 5. Then "okay", then save the file. Regards,
