Adobe yesterday announced it has asked a U.S. District Court for declaratory relief to resolve a contractual dispute over embedding ITC fonts in electronic documents and says it also filing an arbitration proceeding in London seeking affirmation of the same contractual rights with respect to Monotype fonts. In its press release, Adobe says it attempted to resolve this matter informally with Monotype and ITC, but was unsuccessful. Adobe has also asked the court to declare that Adobe's Acrobat product does not violate certain provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) as claimed by ITC and Agfa Monotype, which it believes are "being made to gain ITC and Agfa leverage in the contractual disputes."

Why not?
Hey, if I was another font house, I'd be pissed that Adobe was imbedding my font code in its document files.
