email was very common well before that.

people may not have had a computer *at home* but businesses and
universities had them with email certainly internally and sometimes
externally.

And yet the stationery supplies store along the street from my office
still stocks typewriters, and when I asked him about them, he said they
sell about 1 a week.

And there are undoubtedly some people who can afford one that don't
have a computer and an e-mail account.

I had a friend who died (in his 90s) a couple of years ago, who owned
and used a typewriter, but had no computer. He called himself a
Luddite.

Note that I said "typewriters *started* disappearing," not that
typewriters have disappeared and "*many* people switched from
typewriters to PCs with word processors," not everyone switched. 

But the numbers of those who still use typewriter is decreasing, and
if any company is still making them, they will soon stop, as sales
decrease to almost nothing.

Tell that to the kgb. They've switched from using email, to using
manual (not electric) typewriters, to avoid being snooped on.

Somewhere in between typewriters and PCs there were also real "word
processors" - basically electronic typewriters which could store pages
of text and use different, if limited, fonts.

As you suggested, typewriters have become something of a niche market
(a bit like vinyl record players), but they are of course still made,
sold, and used, and not just as "a novelty" (just Nospam proving yet
again that he knows nothing about anything in the real world). Some
authors still insist on using a typewriter to create their written
works and there are people who still use them to write letters, print
their cheques, etc. because they simply don't want a computer or prefer
a typewriter.

There is (was?) a Kickstarter campaign for Qwerkywriter - a wireless
Bluetooth keyboard for tablets and computers that is made to look like
an old-fashioned typewriter. http://www.qwerkywriter.com

You'd be surprised how long that took. In fact, there was a time when
the secretaries would have a computer AND a typewriter on their desks.

But that is not what happened in offices. Up through the late 90s I
still saw typewriters at the desks outside the offices.

Which explains why Americans leave the letter u out of words like
"colour" ... they're still 1000 years behind everyone else.  ;-)

No thanks. One less letter to type is an improvement.

The problem is: the "original" set of TrueType Fonts (.ttf) are all
copyrighted by MicroSoft for M$-Windows, so
a) you cannot use them in Linux
b) you cannot create fonts that look "exactly the same"
because in both cases MicroSoft will sue you (cq the creator) and they
have more money for lawsuits than you (cq that creator) have/has.
So you'll loose that just by running out of money for those lawsuits.

So Linux had to mske do with the Type1 fonts (first) cq TrueType fonts
(later) that were DIFFERENT from the MicroSoft ones.

PS: the original X11 fonts were all fixed size ones, so you needed a
different set for each font-SIZE.

I didn't know this, but it still wouldn't matter if the names are
the same for the "standard" set of fonts.

I do agree that you'd want truetype fonts so that you don't have
to have each font size in store.

Typefaces are not protected by copyright in the USA.  Thus you *can*,
with impunity, create fonts that look "exactly the same".  And people
frequently do so.

read it again.

  However, the same abstract design is protectable by other means in
  the United States, such as design patent (indeed, the very first US
  design patent was for a typeface[1]), and by similar industrial
  design protections in other countries, including the UK, Germany and
  France. Further, the form in which that typeface is often reproduced,
  a computer font file, is registrable for copyright in the United
  States (since 1992).

  Other forms of protection are also applicable: the typeface's trade
  name may be registrable as a Trademark. (And the trademark would
  apply, simultaneously, to the trade name of the thing that actually
  changes hands when the typeface is bought, sold, licensed, or in any
  way redistributed ­ that is, the digital font file within which the
  measurements of the typeface are recorded as data.)

"However, in 1992, the US Copyright Office revisited its 1988 decision, and
determined that the latest digital outline fonts in fact had elements that could
be protected as software.[4] Since that time, the Office has accepted
registration of copyright for digital vector fonts, such as PostScript Type 1,
TrueType, and OpenType format files.

This is part of the basis of the unpublished opinion in Adobe Systems, Inc. v.
Southern Software, Inc., decided in 1998, wherein Judge Whyte found that Adobe
Software held a valid copyright for its Utopia font and that it had been
infringed by the defendant(s) in that case."

Not that I carefully wrote "typefaces", not "font files".  This ruling
means that you can't get away with redistributing somebody else's font
files without permission, but you can with impunity copy the actual
character outlines.  It's the hinting etc that is protected by this
ruling, not the typeface itself.
