Hi folks,

does anybody know if this causes trouble, when I use Linotype fonts with Adobe products like Illustrator, InDesign or Photoshop?

I use a G5 Mac, OS X 10.4.8 and Adobe CS2.

Thanks

They're one of the top type foundries. Quality fonts.

umucl,

As Bob says. Also, as Adobe licenses some of the Adobe library for inclusion in its own, just be sure that you do not have identically-named fonts installed and activated from both foundries.

You can use fonts from any well-respected foundry, large or small, with your Adobe applications, Type 1, TrueType, or OpenType, with the same caveat.

At one time Linotype was very much in bed with Adobe. I would be surprised if their fonts failed to work.

One thing you should examine before you license (you don't buy) fonts from any foundry is the EULA, the End User License Agreement. You may find that for identical fonts in the Adobe and Linotype libraries originally sourced from Linotype, the license is different, especially with regards to (1) your right to embed fonts in PDF, EPS, PostScript, or other files and (2) your ability to redistribute PDF, EPS, PostScript, or other files that have such fonts embedded without paying an additional license or royalty fee. Beware!

As I recall (and Dov will correct me), Adobe's EULAs allow you to do both (1) and (2) without restrictions or extra fees.

Your response is correct!
