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
