Hello collective mind
I have been ignoring the Adobe type 1 warning until today when I had a moment to read it. Is it me or are they just using it as a tool to make everyone use their licensed fonts, so that if you stop using Adobe products you also lose you entire font library, making it far less likely you will move onto competitor software? I have many type 1 fonts that I have bought over the years. This uncoupling with type 1 seems another insidious way of tying designers to Adobe's ever increasing monthly payment schedule. I want to own the software I use, there are lean times and fat times and having a large monthly bill to pay, as opposed to a piece of software that will be mine through thick and thin, is really beginning to bug me. Anyone else?
