I know this, but I don't want to make money with it and the only purpose
is duplicating the original eMate ID card which used this font. If I
make copys of these it would be the same, but then I don't have an EPS
file that could be uploaded to UNNA and people who have an eMate where
not able to print a new one if they lost the card or already scribbled
something on it.

The font used for the text in the file is already converted to paths and
could probably not be used for anything else if copied out of this file.
I'll only give the people who already own the rights to use this card
the ability to do that.

So, personally I don't see anything that is illegal if I make this card
(which is btw. already made).
But to keep this font on my harddrive or to use it for anything else is,
which you pointed out correctly, illegal.
It is also illegal to send this font per eMail to my address, but I was
busy and found it on the web.... ;-)

Grant, what you said is true and I respect your comments.

Greets,
Manu
