![]() ![]() You'd have to ask Adobe, but I think the “Pro” gets added to a pre-existing font that is converted to Opentype format, and in which several previously distinct font files are merged. The presence or absence of characters in a font have nothing to do with Opentype (well … hardly), and, the suffix “Pro” does not indicate that as well. So my question is, if bog standard Times has all these different language characters, why can't I have them in Adobe Garamond Pro? It's OpenType and allows me to set the language to Russian but just gives me pink rectangles. Now and then, given time, I've tried using the Stylistic Sets which are found in the OpenType section of Paragraph Styles, but can't see any difference - not that I've actually tried very hard. However, Adobe Garamond Pro doesn't seem to have any Russian/Cyrillic characters, so I usually make a Character Style using (shock, horror!) Times for those words. When I import authors' text I find they nearly always use Times/TNR and of course I can get the general look and feel of the text by using import options. The house style used by the publisher (Helion & Co) always uses Adobe Garamond and I have the Pro version on my Mac which I've used in all versions of InDesign (I'm now on CS5.5). Now and then I have to set a book which uses some Russian words in the text - one book was a list of Russian phrases used by Russian soldiers in World War II (not that I really wanted to know!). ![]()
