An informative Apple guide to font management
Authored by: foobar104 on Jan 30, '04 01:20:03PM

On the subject of OpenType equivalents, it's worth mentioning that Adobe seems to have pulled a boneheaded maneuver. Their OpenType version of Helvetica is called Helvetica LT Std. Their OpenType version of Courier is called Courier Std. Their OpenType version of Times is called Times LT Std.

What this means is that the OpenType fonts are not one-to-one replacements for the Type 1 fonts.

I'm sure there's a good argument to be made for why this is so, but it annoys me anyway.
