This was confusing and not cross-platform, and only had room for a limited glyph set, so OpenType has combined them into a single file, with the ability to have many more glyphs.Īs far as the other font you mention, it may be a matter of finding an updated OTF or TrueType version. The confusion comes here: what is ending is support for the old Type 1 font file format, which on Mac meant having separate Screen font suitcases and Outline font files, and on PC, seperate.
Yes, it is a Postcript-flavoured OpenType so it will still list as 'OpenType Type 1' in your InDesign document, as Postscript outlines ARE Type 1. (The clue is the word 'Pro' as OpenType made it possible to add many more glyphs than was possible in old Type 1 format). Adobe Caslon Pro has always been OpenType.
