We are purchasing a bunch of new fonts so I thought I'd gauge your opinion first.

What format would you choose? We do all our print on Macs, but use Pc's for web development.

I was thinking that Postscript would be the best option as I think you can configure Adobe type manager to sort them out for PC. Anyway a bit a novice when it comes top the technical side of type and font management - so could do with some ideas.

Ta, Limbo.

opentype is the future, it works fine on mac and pc. If you can you get the fonts you need in opentype then you'll be sorted.
