> What will happen if the writers use OpenType and I stay with the postscript versions on my Mac? Unless you are using the same fonts on each platform (ie, the same font format - PS, TT, or OT - and from the same foundry), you will get missing font messages and you will have to redefine the styles. As well, if you're using PS fonts on one platform and OT on the other, you may see some text reflow as the metrics may not be the same. I understand you can use Windows fonts (PS, TT) on the Mac by placing them in the Adobe fonts folder (or possibly the Mac can read them anyway - I'm not sure), but you can't use Mac fonts on Windows. I would buy the OT fonts and make sure everyone is using them.
