Hi Don For even greater dedication to this approach to typefaces, check out the Hoefler Type Foundry at http://www.typography.com/ <http://www.typography.com/> . Their Didot, for example, has specific instances for 6, 11, 16, 24, 42, 64, and 96 point. And, of course, multiple master fonts have long provided the most flexibility of all in this regard (and I think some of the OpenType opticals are drawn from MM originals). (I, for one, am very sorry that MM fonts are no longer being developed, and I will continue to use them, even in preference to OT opticals.) Sadly, I don't think that we will ever see the majority or even a reasonable percentage of fonts released in optical master form, but we can but hope. Cheers, Dominic
