how open is open type

Brian_

On a PC, will Illustrator 10 use OpenType?
For example, I have Batang in OT format, which Quark reads, and even MS Word reads, but Illustrator will not. The only management software I have is ATM light. Will getting Extensis allow Illustrator 10 to recognize open type, or is there another issue here?
Thanks

Whats an Illustrator issue and I'm total agree with you this is one of Adobes dark sides. So you will have to upgrade to CS(11). My upgrade to version 10 is the most useless I have ever done.

For the record, I work mostly with the super fast and stable version 8. Since then every new version came up with more & more effects, click & play and kiddy stuff. Imagine, the statistics plugin is sitll the same old one like in version 7 and how crazy is its usage.

Maybe this have something to do by leading the software development by the marketing.

Statistics plug-in? What's that?

ok crugen, the Column Graph Tool - to render charts is still like version 7. If you update the data most of the effects are reseted, some effects and filters will work only to the cost you break the conection to the data and so on. The whole handling could be much nicer.
