Confused about ITC Highlander

thefsb9 August 2008 · 07:39

I want to use ITC Highlander bold italic in a certain design. The Linotype site offers two versions called:

ITC Highlander® Bold Italic
ITC Highlander® by ITC Bold Italic

I’ve been trying to understand the difference. I can’t see any by just looking at the Linotype web site (PDF samples, create samples). But in the Linotype FontExplorer application, the fonts look distinct, as shown below.

Any ideas what’s going on?
