      Let me add, in my experience, contrary to what is stated in the above
      link ("Donald Gruener," etc.), many Open Type fonts don't work AT ALL
      in PageMaker.




Exactly what OT fonts don't work in PM and what glyphs are not being reproduced? Because PM is not a uniocde-aware app, you will not be able to access all the glyphs that an OT font can hold, but the basic ISO set will be available. OT fonts were made to be backwards compatible in this way. If you are having issues accessing the ISO set, then I suggest it is likely to have to do with how you are installing the fonts. (What OS are you on and how are you installing the fonts? What apps do they show up in?) There is no need to convert an OT font to a TT font to use in PM and the problems inherent in conversion are a reason not to.

There is a free utility available that will let you create new OT fonts from an existing OT font (licence allowing) with specific character sets. This allows you to, for example, create a font with OSFs that you can use in PM.
