OpenType is a new cross-platform font file format developed by Adobe and Microso. OpenType is an extension of the TrueType ???? format that can now support PostScript? font data and new typographic fea- tures. OpenType fonts containing PostScript outlines have an .otf file name suffix, while those with TrueType outlines may have a .otf, .ttf or .ttc file name suffix. is user guide deals primarily with the installation and use of PostScript flavored OpenType fonts. OpenType fonts may include an expanded character set and layout features to provide richer linguistic sup- port and advanced typographic control. OpenType fonts from Adobe with support for central European (CE) languages can be distinguished by the word “Pro,” which is part of the font name and appears in applica- tion font menus. OpenType fonts that do not contain central European language support are labeled “Stan- dard,” and are designated by an “Std” suffix in the fonts’ menu names. All OpenType fonts can also be installed and used alongside PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts. One Cross-Platform Font File All OpenType fonts use a single font file for all of their outline, metric, and bitmap data (if any), making file management simpler. e file names for OpenType fonts from Adobe are clearly descriptive. In addition, the same font file works on Macintosh and Windows computers, improving cross-platform portability for documents. Better Language Support
