Basically, what Adobe is going to have to do to stay on top of
the business is to stop being so proprietary with their font formats:
otherwise they will fade away. And, according to the morning's
New York Times, they will do just that.

Actually, I am surprised that laser printer users like Adobe's fonts.
They are really not very good looking. Just look at Adobe's own
Postscript manuals: their typefaces are so fat that they need a serious
diet. And, at 300 d.p.i. they are really really bad. Their 
outline technology is just too crude to work really well at less than
1200 d.p.i., and even there compromises apparently have been made.
The only way to get things REALLY right on a computer is to store the
bitmaps, hand adjusted, on a disk. That really doesn't take too
much space - all the fonts for a book I am writing take only
3 megabytes including resolutions of 1270 and 300 d.p.i. as well
as screen sizes. 
And I have fine tuned out a few crudities in the 300 and 1270 d.p.i.
sizes.
