The Utopia fonts from Adobe:

    UTBI____.pfa
    UTB_____.pfa
    UTI_____.pfa
    UTRG____.pfa

Usually they are in in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.

There are two questions (at least):

    1.  Under which conditions can they be distributed?

    2.  Is it permitted to modify them (adding support for Vietnamese
        in this case) if the filename, /FontName, and /UniqueID is
        changed in each font? 

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
