Legality of digitizing Letraset fonts

Can anyone tell me the law of digitalising typefaces found in old Letraset books.

Who actually owns the license?

Thanks in advance.

The best place to ask these questions is at

Typophilers (who are not Letraset's legal representatives) advising on this stuff would in effect be "lawyering".

Questions about the intellectual property or copyright of particular works are best directed to the owner(s) of those works.

There is no legal constraint on digitalizing typefaces found in printed books of any kind or age, and no licensing is required.

Cheers!

Thanks dberlow.

I'll pose another question. Say I wanted to make a stenciled version of Univers and want to sell it. Is that illegal?

Thanks again.

Hmm...Don't get that sii.

Also, different cuts of fonts...How is this legal? There are so many cuts of Clarendon and Avant Garde for example.
