I'm using this as a sort of sandbox. It's interesting that there's no obvious way for a viewer to see an svg file at a larger resolution. Of course add a bit of wiki syntax and we can get the large version below:
How did you get TextEdit to change the style of the word? When I type using Zapfino in either TextEdit or Pages, one style is determined and I can not select a different one. --

Are fonts copyrighted?
I was working on moving free images to
Commons when I came across
Image:Zapfino.svg. This image specifically represents a font that, according to the article
Zapfino, was created in 1998. Are fonts not themselves copyrighted? At least the specialty ones like this? And if it is copyrighted, then am I correct that this is not a free image and that the uploader was incorrect in claiming GFDL for it? If necessary, I can and will write up a fair-use rationale to cover its use in
Zapfino if not the other articles. But I want to make sure it really is non-free first.
