Thanks. Sorry, I wasn't very clear about that -- thinking about one thing and writing about another. 

The phoning I did had nothing to do with Gill Sans, but occurred about a year ago when I was deciding which *Ehrhardt* expert set to purchase, and I was not confident that the answers were based on any kind of knowledge. 

Monotype thought that as the regular fonts (which I had purchased from Adobe) nevertheless came up as "Ehrhardt MT" on the font menu, there was probably no revision to them. The folks I spoke with on the phone at Adobe seemed unable to state more than noncomittal generalities about relicensed fonts and weren't sure as to how to find out more specifically about this font or that. 

What is the best way of finding this sort of detailed information?  

(Just for the record, I learn a lot from forums like this, and especially from individuals like Thomas, who clearly are in a position to know. I'm just wondering whom I can bug with minor questions, because it's their job -- I'd rather not wear out someone else's good will.) 

Many thanks. 

Victor
