This includes not only the original Type 1 fonts, but also Multiple Master and now OpenType fonts (yes, there have been significant updates and improvements in those fonts since they were first released over a dozen years ago). The only upgrades that Adobe offers are for licensees of the <i>Adobe Font Folio </i>products. (I will not even attempt to provide the business reasons for this or justify it any way, but those were the decisions made. FWIW, Adobe’s policies in terms of font upgrades is fairly consistent with industry practice.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(2) Originally, the OpenType format was also supposed to support a Multiple Master flavor of fonts, but this was dropped shortly before the first release of the OpenType fonts due to the objections of Microsoft who refused to support such a feature. When Adobe made the OpenType versions of the Type 1 Multiple Master fonts, it made an individual font to match each and every one of the primary instances of the comparable Type 1 Multiple Master font in terms of weight, style, optical style, etc. In some cases, extra fonts were added to reflect common customized Multiple Master instances that were believed to be in use and of general usefulness to users. Migrating from Multiple Master to OpenType requires you to match the Type 1 Multiple Master font instance with the particular member of the comparable OpenType font family.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(3) With regards to “converting” fonts – let’s say from Type 1 to OpenType, we strongly discourage that. Although this may sound self-serving and even assuming you use a product that preserves hinting and metrics, you gain virtually nothing from such conversions other than a repackaging of the font. In producing the OpenType version of its type library, quite a bit of work was done in the area of adjusting and correcting metrics, supporting Unicode, creating links that allow for automatic use of ligatures in page layout programs, easy access to alternative and swash characters, small caps, and old style figures, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Given that Adobe hasn’t release any Type 1 or Multiple Master fonts in a dozen years, from a business perspective, you can readily declare that your Type 1 fonts from Adobe are fully depreciated. Adobe is not abandoning Type 1 support in any of its products (nor do we have any plans for such abandonment) and we absolutely cannot eliminate Type 1 and Multiple Master support for Acrobat (for the obvious reason that we will “forever” need to support embedded fonts in existing PDF files).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>What I typically recommend is for users to continue to use their Type 1 fonts with <i>existing</i> documents and publications and <i>add </i>the OpenType fonts as necessary under any one or more of the following scenarios:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(1) You create a new publication (or artwork) or significantly modify the style of an existing publication (or artwork).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(2) You need to have cross-platform compatibility for editing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(3) You need access to the typographical and multilingual features (via Unicode) of OpenType fonts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Further note that the OpenType fonts from Adobe have different names (typically suffixed with either <i>Std </i>– standard character sets or <i>Pro </i>– extended character sets often with support for one or more non-Western Latin alphabets) than the Type 1 or Multiple Master fonts they replace. You will need to do some edit work to migrate an existing document to use of OpenType (note that this is where use of paragraph and character styles <i>really </i>pays off handsomely!). We purposely did this renaming in order to avoid any misperception of 100% compatibility of the Type 1 to OpenType migration. There is minor chance of text reflow, but also the possibility of problems with mapping of non-ASCII characters (this is especially true for <i>all </i>characters in fonts such as Symbol, Carta, Sonata, and Zapf Dingbats).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'> -Dov<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border:none;border-top:solid #6A737B 1.0pt'><tr><td width=43 style='width:32.25pt;border:none;padding:0in 15.75pt 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><img width=43 height=72 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CDF41A.14B92F20" alt="Description: D:\Documents\Adobe Artwork\2012\Adobe Products\E-mail Signature\adobe_logo_web.png"></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width=580 valign=bottom style='width:435.0pt;border:none;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=677 style='width:507.75pt'><tr><td width=218 valign=bottom style='width:163.55pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:11.25pt'><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Dov Isaacs</span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br>Principal Scientist<br>Adobe Systems Incorporated</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width=168 valign=bottom style='width:126.2pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:11.25pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>+1 408.536.2896 (tel)<br>+1 408.242.5161 (cell)</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:11.25pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="mailto:isaacs@adobe.com"><span style='color:black'>isaacs@adobe.com</span></a></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width=291 valign=bottom style='width:218.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:11.25pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>345 Park Avenue<br>San Jose, CA 95110-2704 USA<br><a href="http://www.adobe.com/"><span style='color:black'>http://www.adobe.com</span></a></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td><td valign=bottom style='border:none;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan=3 style='border:none;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#00B050'>Feel free to print this e-mail if your needs dictate hard copy.<br>There is no need to feel guilty about printing!<br>Paper is renewable and recyclable.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#00B050'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:7.0pt;color:black'>ISAACS-OFFICE.corp.adobe.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, January 16, 2013 12:09 AM<br><b>To:</b> framers@lists.frameusers.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Updating older versions of Adobe fonts?
