I _think_ there's a difference between "supply" and "use" here. I can't
see why you shouldn't specify the font in a Word doc just as you can in
WinHelp or HTML. I interpret the restriction to be on font embedding and
inclusion of TTF files in commercial products, which means you're
on-selling something you don't own.
