Cross platform issues

There shouldn’t be any! OpenType has been created to be truly platform independant. Fonts can be copied back and forth between Windows and Macintosh systems. To achieve this, OpenType fonts do not use the resource fork on Macintoshes.

Outputting OpenType fonts

From a PostScript, PDF or Distiller point of view, OpenType does not exist. Any application creating PostScript or PDF will convert OpenType fonts to Type 1 or TrueType font on the fly. That is why you don’t see OpenType fonts show up in the preflighting reports of PitStop or other tools.

OpenType fonts containing TrueType outlines may not print properly on older PostScript level 1 output devices.
