Copyright isn't the point. Typefaces & fonts have been around a 
long time
and there are many, many instances of parallel/duplicate 
development.
So much so that an the identical appearance can (and does) have a
number of names. Some of us have been around long enough that by
sheer repetitiveness a font by one name can be visually recognized
as an analogue of another name.

That's o.k. though - it is tedious to inspect many to find one that 
has
the same kerning, form, etc. etc.
