	OpenType - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		OpenType was first announced in 1996, with significant number of OpenType fonts starting to ship in 2000–2001.
		OpenType is intended by Microsoft and Adobe to be the successor to the TrueType font format developed by Apple Computer and licensed by Microsoft, and the Type 1 ("PostScript") font format developed by Adobe.
		OpenType uses the general "sfnt" structure of a TrueType font, but it adds several smartfont options which enhance the font's typographical abilities.

	OpenType
		OpenType is a scalable computer font format jointly developed by Adobe Systems and Microsoft Corporation.
		OpenType was intended by Adobe and Microsoft as the successor to their previous warring font formats, TrueType (developed by Apple and Microsoft) and PostScript Type 1 fonts[?] (created by Adobe).

	OpenType fonts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		OpenType is a rather new font technology that is codeveloped by Adobe and Microsoft.
		OpenType fonts can contain multiple optical sizes within a font family, so that type in various point-size ranges can be based on separate sets of character outlines, for finer display type and sturdier characters in small sizes.
		OpenType fonts can be much larger than other fonts because of the extra information and glyphs that can be present in them.

	Introduction to Open Type
		OpenType fonts containing PostScript data, such as those in the Adobe Type Library, have an.otf suffix in the font file name, while TrueType-based OpenType fonts have a.ttf file name suffix.
		OpenType significantly simplifies font management and the publishing workflow by ensuring that all of the required glyphs for a document are contained in one cross-platform font file throughout the workflow.
		OpenType fonts may contain more than 65,000 glyphs, which allows a single font file to contain many nonstandard glyphs, such as old-style figures, true small capitals, fractions, swashes, superiors, inferiors, titling letters, contextual and stylistic alternates, and a full range of ligatures.

	\| OpenType \| Typophile
		OpenType is a type format designed by Microsoft and Adobe which attempts to resolve the limitations of the two dominant outline font technologies (Adobe’s Type 1 PostScript fonts, and Apple Computer and Microsoft’s TrueType fonts), as well as serving the needs of its two creators.
		The benefits of OpenType to end users (whether graphic designers or not) are immediately apparent: users of non-Latin scripts are able, sometimes for the first time, to have their native scripts represented properly on the computer.
		OpenType fonts can also replace the complicated system of expert fonts, swash fonts, small caps fonts, and fonts containing old style figures with a single file, and makes it much easier to use the complicated sets of ligatures found in fonts such as Mrs Eaves.

	Monotype Imaging: OpenType
		OpenType will be the new standard for high quality type in print and on the web.
		No longer confined to the 256-charcter limit, OpenType fonts offer the charcters that either were never available or were relegated to "special" fonts that had to be obtained separatly.
		Like their earlier counterparts, OpenType PostScript fonts are typically best suited for publishing and prepress use, while OpenType TrueType fonts are ideal in situations where high screen quality is critical.

	Monotype: About OpenType
		OpenType is a superset of the existing TrueType and Type 1 formats and provides support for both type in print and on-screen.
		OpenType fonts will also contain a “digital signature” that will allow operating systems and browsing applications to identify the source and integrity of fonts - including embedded font files obtained in Web documents.
		One of the “ghosts” being raised about OpenType is that someday font users may have to purchase completely new OpenType libraries to replace their older PostScript and TrueType fonts.

	OpenType Issues
		OpenType is a new font technology which improves dramatically on earlier TrueType (.ttf) and Type1 (.pfb) fonts.
		OpenType fonts can automatically combine several base glyphs into a single visual letter that for the user, is treated like any other single character.
		OpenType takes care of this by including language-specific forms, so that if you are using a Russian keyboard, the Russian forms will be displayed.

		OpenType is a new standard for digital type fonts, developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft.
		OpenType fonts have many advantages over previous font formats because they contain more glyphs, support more languages (OpenType uses the Unicode standard for character encoding,) and support rich typographic features such as small caps, old style figures, and ligatures —; all in a single font.
		OpenType with PostScript outlines is supported by the latest versions of Adobe Type Manager, and is natively supported in Windows 2000.

	creativepro.com - Adobe InDesign Brings OpenType to the Desktop
		OpenType fonts can contain the full range of advanced typographic variations, such as true small capitals, old-style ("lower-case") numerals, ligatures, alternative characters, and combined characters such as "Qu" with the tail of the Q extending beneath the u.
		Without an OpenType font, the only way a user could use small capitals or old-style numerals is by manually selecting a separate font that contained those characters, or by manually formatting numbers to use one of Adobe's "expert set" fonts that contain typographic characters not found in the normal fonts.
		One reason OpenType fonts have been slow to reach the market may be Apple's lack of interest in the format.

	Introduction to OpenType
		Installation note: OpenType fonts purchased and downloaded from the Adobe web site are in the.zip format which can be unpacked with WinZip for Windows and StuffIt Expander™ for Macintosh.
		While most Macintosh and Windows applications are compatible with OpenType via ATM Light or native operating system support, Adobe InDesign®; and Adobe Photoshop®; were the first Adobe applications to provide advanced OpenType feature support (see the OpenType User Guide for details on what is supported by each application).
		Many of these OpenType layout features, such as automatic ligatures, small capitals, swashes and old-style figures, are accessed through the OpenType pop-up menu on the Character palette in InDesign.

	GX vs. OpenType layout
		A minor difference is that OpenType defines ligature decomposition as happening here in the 'GSUB' table, whereas GX puts ligature decomposition as happening later, when justification occurs (and puts the ligature decomposition data into the 'just' table and not the 'mort' table).
		OpenType fuses these two separate passes into a single pass, where the highest priority actions take place first, both in terms of factors and in terms of postcompensation-like actions.
		OpenType links the justification table back to the glyph positioning table, and shares common lookup information, but contextual lookups are not permitted in the justification table per se (the assumption being that the context is determined by the 'GPOS' table, and the 'JSTF' table provides extra information).

	Underware
		The big difference from OpenType to other existing font formats (like PostScript Type 1 and TrueType) is that the same font file works on a PC as well as on a Mac.
		OpenType fonts will look exactly the same as your fonts you used to have, you'll not experience a big difference.
		OpenType is being developed by Adobe together with Microsoft.
