I think discussion on where fonts are going must focus on OpenType.
But OpenType fonts are NOT PostScript fonts, not even so called
"PostScript OpenType fonts" - you can't use them in a PostScript
program. (They are converted to PostScript dynamically as you print,
just like TrueType fonts).  CID fonts could do things, but nobody in
the west is making them (I think).

Hence, what I've been saying is limited to the PostScript world
inhabited by PostScript programmers. If you want to discuss where
OpenType is coming from and going to, I'd suggest the Typography
forum.
