I wonder where's the line between using a font and copyright/trademark infringement.


If the font is proprietary then using that without permission could be copyright infringement.

If the logo can be confused as owned by another entity, then that could be argued as trademark infringement.

But these cases would need to be decided in court. And different jurisdictions might be more restrictive than others.
