I guess the difference is more in the historic development than in actual technical differences. You can easily use Type1 fonts under X11 if they are registered to defoma; I don't know about Openoffice and friends. On the other hand, as I said, pdftex can use TTF fonts, too. That's why I think we should coordinate a bit. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX)
