true type and open type fonts
Hello,
If I look in the fonts list I see a small icon on the left of the font name. There is one with 2 capital T's and one resembling a printer. I guess the 'TT' icon stands for true type. But the printer icon I'm not sure, is this open type? Does anybody also know were I can find these 'open type fonts' because I can't seem to find them in the "C:\WINDOWS\fonts" directory. Thanks in advance, Lucas |

true type and open type fonts
The printer icon indicates either a printer-resident font or an Adobe
PostScript Type 1 font. OpenType fonts are indicated in the Windows Fonts folder (but not in Word's font list) with a large blue italic O (and PostScript fonts with a red script A, not to be confused with red Roman capital A that denotes screen fonts). Word does not currently support the extra features of OpenType, however, and treats OpenType fonts the same as TrueType. -- Suzanne S.
