That's a very clever idea but how was it implemented? How do you (or 
FlashCounter) decide what fonts are installed on my system? What approval 
did I give for that to be done? If I approved it, why didn't I instead 
simply say what office suite(s) I had installed? What software looked at my 
fonts? Is it still installed on my system? Is it still sending the 
information? What other information is it sending? To whom is the data being 
sent? To whom are they sending the data? What other uses are being made of 
the data? Did I approve those uses? When? How?
