Hm... Pity I'm not first here... Anyway.

I've noticed that you didn't include the font.ps for AGaramondPro or Minion
Pro, and cidfont.ps for Kozuka.

Kozuka Mincho Pro Acro R and Kozuka Mincho Std R are included in InDesign
2.0 US Trial and InDesign 2.0 CE Trial. In addition, 4 styles of Minion Pro
and 4 styles of Myriad Pro are included in InDesign 2.0 CE Trial.

Hence, at least one style of the Kozuka font and one style of the Minion Pro
font are easily and freely available for evaluation purposes. For that
reason, I think it would be very helpful if Adobe included the complete
sources for these fonts in the FDK distribution. This would help developers
in learning the tool by building the first font from the provided sources.

Sadly, the answer is "those fonts shouldn't be in the trial versions of InDesign." That's a mistake.

If we were intentionally distributing those fonts in that fashion, I'd certainly agree with you, though!
