Just wondering, how much protection does a font creator have once they have sold a font to the public?

If someone resells or gives away that font "software", does the original font producer have any possible claim against someone that might have a banner or some text on their website that is in that font? What if a designer uses a font without permission and sells their design to a big company, can the original font producer then sue the company that merely has the font on their website?

Are fonts really protected as far as the derivative work that is produced from the "software", or is the original software all that should really have any protection?
