I am about to purchase a font. But, which kind of typeface should it be: Macintosh TrueType, Macintosh PostScript or Open Type? (Each is a separate purchase.)
The font is to be used with an iMac 700 in OS 10.3.6; printing on either an HP 1200se monochrome laser or HP 5650 inkjet color; and using applications InDesignCE or Word 2004.

Any of those formats, or Windows TrueType, should work fine in that environment.
In the really long run, I believe OpenType or TrueType is likely to be better supported (like 10 years from now).
Other considerations might include what language support and additional typographic functionality might be available in the different formats.

Thomas, thanks much.

Somebody has to do something about that echo ...
isn't there a little bit of code that could search and destroy duplicate posts?
