Adobe Garamond Pro

Hello, I need a bit of legal advice on the use of "Adobe Garamond Pro" as I cannot find any information on it anywhere.

I'm a student designing some Christmas cards for a relative who plans to sell them for money, as you can imagine the cards feature the "Adobe Garamond Pro" font.

As far as I can remember I aquired the font by copying it from a college Mac.

What I need clarifying is whether it would be legal to then use the font on these cards which will go on to make money (hopefully).

To me sounds like it won't be legal but fonts have very strange legalities surrounding them and I would appreciate some clarification.

    You can use the font to make print documents. You cannot give your copy of the fonts to a print shop to make the cards for you.

    Just found out that the font is included with CS5 which I bought through Adobe.com.

    So I'm more conifident that I can use it but could still do with an actual answer.

    Excellent thanks very much, the fonts in the design will be outlined/rasterized before I send it away and I never had any intention of redistributing the fonts so I'm in the clear.

    Thanks for clearing that up.
