New Multi-Lingual Fonts

We have released Open Type Postscript versions of many of our existing fonts. There are three groups.

  1. The first group retain the same character set, but are now available in OpenType format.
  2. The second group are offered with an expanded character set for multi-lingual use -- covering 1250 Central Europe, 1252 Western Europe, 1254 Turkish & 1257 Baltic code pages -- in the new format. The expanded character set is indicated by ML in the name.
  3. The third group has the expanded ML character set PLUS a group of OpenType feature tables for accessing alternate characters, ligature, ornaments, etc. All ML fonts released in 2010 or later will have the OpenType features. These fonts will come in a package that includes two fonts, one Postscript and one True Type, at no extra charge. You may install either or both, whichever works best for you. In general, the third group will REPLACE previous versions of the font.
