So yes I was wondering about PostScript—are any open source fonts being distributed as PostScript? I see mainly TTF.

Is that for compatibality reasons? I know postscript doesn’t play well with earlier Windows versions. What about distributing Opentype/CFF ?

I’m sorry, this question must have been asked right at the beginning of OFLB…


Since you want OpenType features in many cases, I figured Opentype with truetype outlines would be the best format to deliver in, no?
