This is just a general question to the forum.
We have been taking in InDesign CS2 and CS3 files from a client, adding content or re-versioning and finally creating .pdf for printers overseas. We have been working with PostScript fonts and embedding the font used into .pdf from PostScript processed through Apogee X Normaliser without too many problems.
We are now having to purchase OpenType fonts for use in our work. Using OpenType should, I believe give us less problems when working in InDesign and embedding fonts in .pdf. Does anyone know of any pitfalls in using OpenType fonts and embedding in .pdf? We are producing v1.3 PDF for overseas printers as many of them cannot process PDF at newer versions. I know, this can bring potential problems but this is what we are having to do.
Also, has anyone experienced problems with using font utilities like MasterJuggler with Mac OS10.5.x? We have loaded PS fonts into MasterJuggler and found that some of them will not open and so are not available in InDesign or in QXP 6.5? If the fonts are placed in the Application Support area then it works in InDesign. We have tried using Font Book with similar results. If the work is done on a Mac with OS10.4.x and the above applications then it all seems to work okay.
Thanks for reading my long winded message!
