then why do we have problems when we don't have both parts and you try to .ps out?
quote from the Apple link about Type 1 fonts that Leonard posted:
PostScript Type 1 (with double-byte support). Adobe PostScript fonts launched the desktop publishing industry and are used today by publishers, corporations, and government agencies for high-quality output to laser printers, imagesetters, and platesetters. Each PostScript font requires two files, one for the screen and one for use by the printer's RIP (raster image processor). Mac OS X is the only operating system that provides native PostScript Type 1 font support.
So we do have two parts and Apple supports them?
and about MM fonts:
Multiple Master. This special type of PostScript font allows variation of one or more font parameters (such as weight) to create a large number of custom styles, also known as instances. Mac OS X can activate already created instances of Multiple Master fonts.
(this one I have trouble with cause they just don't work with the apps, not the OS, but the Apps, like Quark for one and Suitcase for another).
