NBC is being sued (no, not for canceling Southland)

There are lawsuits filed every single day, some of them against media companies. But this is the first time that I've heard about a TV network being sued because of the fonts they use.I don't mean that they're being sued for infringing on a logo or something like that, I mean they're being sued for the actual fonts that they use. I didn't even know you could be sued for using a certain font. The Font Bureau (which would make an excellent title for a crime series) makes fonts for such people as Apple and Microsoft, but NBC didn't get the rights to use their fonts in the logos for shows like Saturday Night Live, The Jay Leno Show, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for more than one time on one computer. NBC has been using them a lot more than that. They're asking for around $2 million.
