(In releases prior to 2012, OpenType was preferred for Windows, and TrueType
|
|
Packit |
f0e7df |
for other systems. The essential difference is that now the internal format
|
|
Packit |
f0e7df |
of the letters in the OpenType files is cubic spline (PostScript) and of the
|
|
Packit |
f0e7df |
TrueType is quadratic spline (TrueType).)
