Free* fonts under GPL

I remember a thread on scribus mailing list about usage of GPLed fonts. While
bathing today it struck me suddenly, that its a non issue. Basic problem
somebody raised was that, if a document is prepared using GPLed fonts they
are linked into it and thus the document itself becomes a derivative work and
then it must be distributed under GPL.
I for one don't have any problem with that. Only professional documentors
which right now get paid against a doc layout and content liscencing are in
trouble and the issue is parrallel to the issue of free software. Hence i
will like most of the fonts to be in GPL domain making most of the documents
in that domain too.
Think about it how many times i have made a document which i didn't send in
its original source form or as pdf and sent it in a bitmap or othe non
recoverable format? how many documents i don't want people to modify when i
give it to them?
But GNU is slipping this thing under the rough and waiting till the fonts
become mainline then they can charge on... this is bad GNU is now using the
same corporate strategies they so stressfully protest.
Neways i dream of the day when the society potrayed in Star Trek becomes a
reality**, then people will fight to keep their documents under GPL
