Because legible line layout with Adobe Type 1 and Adobe Type 1 products corrupts the coded characters to which they author committed her intentions, providing these products within the European Union should have been prohibited years ago. Note that the corruption occurs before a softcopy document is saved out, since Apple Offices is coded as Apple OYces. Hopefully, Mac OS OS X 10.5 will do what should have been done is Mac OS 7.5, which is to discontinue the Type 1 format in favour of the SFNT Spline Font file format.

Like Linus and his blanket, I’ve lugged MyriadMM around with me for many, many years now. This is going to be a tough transition…
