I'm just reading a book on (not only) this subject -- "Die PostScript &
PDF-Bibel", 2nd edition, PDFlib -- but font handling is far above my head...
I read the book at work, I write this mail at home...
I understand that OpenType fonts...
-- use Unicode numbers internally (but TrueType should do so, too)
-- can hold glyphs with Type-1- (OTF) *or* TrueType-curves (TTF)
-- with TT-curves should behave like normal TT-Fonts, at least on Windows
-- can hold thousands of glyphs (maybe a problem with TeX and its
256-char-fonts?)
-- need some help by the OS: you need >Win2k, MacOS X or FreeType2 for X, at
least for displaying
-- use the same file format on all OSes (no special Mac fonts, no resource
fork!)
