Re: Using the MS logo in your manual

I think you need permission.  I know that even if your company is a
development partner with them, there are many guidelines regarding the use
of their name, product, and/or logos.

Any ideas on this? OK or not OK? How can we find out?

** Legally it is not OK to make free with another company's
   logotype in your manual.  However, by including the logo
   in a font that it distributes, Microsoft is virtually asking
   you to do so.  You might have a good case in court, but
   you don't want to go there even with a good case, do you?
   I sure don't, so forget I said anything...
