Developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft, OpenType is a cross-platform font file format, which provides rich multilingual support and advanced typographic control."</i><br /><br />It's good to see Microsoft working <i>with</i> its competitors instead of against them. :wink: OpenType is a very flexible format that supposedly scales well to different device form factors. So hopefully this will have some impact on smaller devices like PMC.
