Open Type versus Type 1 fonts

["Mitchell, Sue" <Sue.Mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We are in the process of purchasing some new fonts - the question is do we
need to purchase Type 1 fonts to produce PDF & PRN or can we purchase Open
Type fonts. From what I have read, Open Type are a subset of Type 1 and True
Type and are compatible with all OS's, can be embedded in PDFs, don't
conflict with other fonts that are Type 1 etc....

Just thought I would ask if anyone out there has had experience using these
fonts and whether there is something I am missing...

Source files are distilled on W2K and NT, using Frame 7 and Distiller 5
Output PDFs are viewed on all Windows and UNIX platforms

Thanks

Sue
