So, you think my figure is *underestimated*? :-)
BTW: even $100 mln. of revenues on fonts is *huge*.
Profit margin is about 90%, so $100 mln. on such sales (high-margin fonts) is
close to revenues of $450 mln. USD for a typical hardware company (margin
just 20%)
Only pharmaceutical companies enjoy such high margins (except Adobe, MS and
some other major software companies - in IT industry)
