Did you ever get an answer for this? I've got the same question.

Are there a license available for Myriad Pro that allows embedding and distribution of the font in an app?

Not at this time, but we are looking at making them available in the future.

I also have one question about the Myriad Pro licensing option.

Soon we will found a company and we would use Myriad Pro as

1) a part of our Logo for some letters

2) On out website

3) as standard font in letters, documents etc.

4) in brochures for marketing

Could you please let me know, if we can do this with a commercially available license and where we could purchase it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

As I understand it, if you are not distributing the font in some way, but only using it to create documents, images and other collateral (such as your logo), then the normal purchase option already available will cover that. You would need to purchase a font license for each computer (or person?) that will be using the font.

Thanks very much.

How would it be, if we only take it for the logo and website? (since I doubt our small startup could cover getting the license for every PC using it)

What kind of a license / how many do I have to purchase then?

Thanks very much!

I don't think it matters if you use it for logos + brochures or logos + brochures + letters + documents, it's a per computer license for creating stuff.

The website is handled differently and needs its own license. This is because you'll be "distributing" the font (so that browsers can see it) in a way that's different from using a font to create stuff.

I'm not an expert though. Just trying to figure it all out myself.

As others have said, using Myriad Pro for logo design, desktop publishing, and rasterized images (e.g. Photoshop) is just fine. Distributing the font itself (except when properly embedded in electronic documents like PDF) is not allowed.

Adobe does not license its fonts for hosting as web fonts; you can, however, use Myriad Pro in web pages through Adobe Typekit or Extensis WebINK.

Miguel,

Would it be "legal", if you will, to embed Myriad Web Pro in Desktop application, for the use of displaying text to the end user?

This would NOT let the user use the font to create their own documents, etc, and would be embeded in the application itself and not installed on the users computer, so if the application is removed then the font would no longer be on the users computer.

Is there someone I could call (in legal or sales perhaps) that I could talk to about this?

Thank you

Font application embedding and font serving is not allowed under the standard Adobe font EULA -- but you can write to font-licensing@adobe.com for more info.
