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
