I may link to it if you don't mind. Type 1 and True Type and Open Type have just been an area of confusion for me for a very long time, and now it is crystal-clear. And thanks for the rest of this very useful site -- I saw where you said you didn't support it anymore, but it is very worthwhile. Ah, this article was very helpful, thanks so much.
