Im a bit confused about OpenType use. My intention was to "import" the Palatino Linotype OpenType font from my Windows XP laptop onto my desktop that stills runs Windows 98 to use it with Indesign 2. 1. This font does not have an OTF extension is that normal ? 

2. I could not install the font into  Windows 98 using the traditional procedure but succeeded to do it under ATM which created a subfolder into the PSFONTS folder. Is that normal ? 

3. The font does not appear with the "O" Icon it appears with in Windows XP but it instead bears the "TT" icon. Is that normal ? 

4. Last but not least, will I be able to take advantage of Indesign's builtin Opentype font handling with this font under Win98 ? ( That is ligatures... etc.)
