I am using Netscape 4.75 on the Mac. It doesn't ask me to autoinstall a plugin.

I also cannot see diacritics.

I have put the topic on the agenda.

 

 

About two years ago I wanted to change all our production here in Sweden

to OpenType fonts because it obviously is a far superior format.

 

But I cancelled this project when I was informed that a switch to

OpenType would mean we'd have to scrap all our PostScript equipment

(laser printers, color proofers, imagesetter) because PostScript

equipment was simply not able to handle OpenType. I was informed that

this was the one and only reason why the industry had not adopted

OpenType and would not adopt it for a long time to come.

 

Did Adobe in the meantime change the format?

 

Can OpenType now be output on standard PostScript equipment?

 

Or is Arjunanatha Prabhu talking about the web exclusively?
