It's always a desire here to match up to the various challenges presented

by Adobe Type Manager, in its various versions. The move to NT is new for

that utility and it would be nice to incorporate Adobe fonts on that OS

too. Until then, TrueType does not require ATM on NT, and is the easiest

way to go.


(If it makes you feel better, then MacOS 9 will have its own round of ATM

issues coming, so that operating system will have a gap in its font support

too. TrueType's still easy, though.)
