If you go to Control Panel, then Fonts, you will see a listing of fonts that are installed on your computer. Virtually all my fonts are TrueType, but apparently there are two different types of TrueType.
A good example:
"Arial" is identified by Windows as a TrueType font. It has a file extension of TTF. The icon displayed for this font is a sheet of paper with an "O". We'll call this "Type 1".
Other TrueType fonts (like "Lucinda Sans Italic") are identified by Windows as TrueType fonts. They have file extensions of TTF. The icon displayed for these fonts is a sheet of paper with "TT". We'll call these "Type2".
Even though the file extensions are exactly the same and they are both identified as TrueType, windows obviously sees a difference in these fonts because it displays a different icon for each.
My problem is that I have an app that I need to use a specific "Type 2" font, but the app won't recognize "Type 2" fonts.
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here?
