And those advantages are blown away completely the first time someone uses
TT fonts in a DTP application, or (horrors) embeds one in a graphic which
you use in a DTP application.
I banned TrueType fonts from my department when I joined this company. As I
mentioned in my first reply, we do not have font problems around here. We
use only Adobe Type 1 Postscript fonts. That means all Windows users have
ATM installed.
If you want to take your chances with Microsoft fonts and TrueType, go right
ahead. I have deadlines to meet, so I stick with the industry standard. For
once, thank goodness, Microsoft has not set the standard.
