OT: OpenType vs. TrueType

OT: OpenType vs. TrueType

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I think the following video is interesting because it answers the 
questions which font format you should use:

German speaking users can watch the following video:

Wow, good read! (Didn't have time to watch the video yet :-))

Indeed I always thought PS < TTF < OTF while this is apparently pretty 
wrong. That's definitely something I need to look out for when buying 
fonts. It looks like one needs to check first, how the 
shop/author/whoever defines "TrueType" and "OpenType", so you really 
know what you get :-/

Best regards
Andreas

Many thanks for the very interesting resources, Wolfgang.

My small contribution would be a video from Erik Spiekermann (the
reknown typographer) on letterpress printing: https://vimeo.com/95682050.

Although the audio is mainly in German, English subtitles are available.

Just in case any list member may enjoy it,

Pablo
