Hi!

Can someone shed some light on this for me:

Designers are using InDesign CS2 and Postscript Type 1 fonts (Serifa and Frutiger) on the Mac for layout.

Writers will be using InCopy CS3 for editing on Windows. I was told they need to have the same fonts installed in order to copy fit correctly when we exchange files in the workflow.

I need to buy the PC version to the fonts and I'm confused about whether or not I have to get them postscript versions or if I can buy them the OpenType versions. OpenType seems to be priced cheaper.

Can someone help me? I have to make the decisions/purchases today.

thanks!
Dan
