Our firm is trying to settle on a couple fonts (body & display) for our technical documents and marketing materials. We all work on some version of Windows (NT4, Win2000, WinXP), usually don't use Post-Script printers, and tend to create PDFs of all our documents for archive and distribution. Sometimes, our documents are posted online. Should we be using Type 1, True Type, or Open Type fonts and is it reasonable to use the same fonts for both print & web? Lots of crossover here: PDF workflow, typography. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
