Fonts and OO3Pro

[Herbert Elbrecht]

Well I guess -

Mark needs the OT-features of these Adobe fonts, and only
Adobe apps are ready to actually work with these specials.
The point seems to be OpenType vs AAT font technology.
As I see it, Mark can live with Apple fonts as well - I guess,
but for some reason [inDesign, etc] wants to go Adobe,
and OS X is not OT ready. And who knows when, if ever…

Hope this helps somehow
HE
