InDesign: The Power of OpenType.
Adobe InDesign was the first major application to take full advantage of OpenType fonts, a superset of the existing TrueType (yes, I said a bad word) and Adobe PostScript Type 1 font formats. OpenType fonts provide improved cross-platform document portability, rich linguistic support, powerful typographic capabilities, and simplified font-management requirements.
When you installed InDesign or the Creative Suite, you also installed some OpenType fonts; however, how do you know which fonts are OpenType? You can check it out in InDesign’s Type>Font menu. Since InDesign CS2, it actually shows you a sample of the fonts and better yet, it shows you the type of font that it is before you use it.
