In the old times some PS Level2 RIPs couldn't handle Truetype fonts. And most bad fonts are Truetype. But in fact the format tells nothing about quality or printability. OpenType fonts can contain Truetype-based outlines as well as PostScript-based (quadratic vs. cubic curves). Usually .otf files contain PostScript-based outlines, while .ttf can mean "old" Truetype as well as TrueType-based OpenType. I.e. the TrueType format can encode its slots in Unicode (obligatory for OpenType) or in any other encoding. >> I have just uploaded a new version to the garden. > good.
