Stick to the basics... Type Basics
Adobe Type Basics has been a lifesaver. About a year ago, my business partner and I launched a weekly newspaper. We knew our way around Adobe Photoshop, QuarkXpress and Adobe PageMaker, so we figured we were ready. Boy, were we wrong. We soon discovered we "didn't know jack" about fonts. We experienced reflow problems, missing fonts and other foul-ups, and our...

Fonts aren't OpenType
Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format. Adobe sells an OpenType edition of Adobe Type Basics, but this is a download-only product. I wish Adobe would sell the OpenType Edition on CD.

This review is from: Adobe Type Basics 5.0 MLP [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
Adobe Type Basics has been a lifesaver. About a year ago, my business partner and I launched a weekly newspaper. We knew our way around Adobe Photoshop, QuarkXpress and Adobe PageMaker, so we figured we were ready. Boy, were we wrong. We soon discovered we "didn't know jack" about fonts. We experienced reflow problems, missing fonts and other foul-ups, and our printer terrified us with even worse horror stories about what can happen when good type goes bad. Thankfully, a graphic designer tipped us to Adobe Type Basics. The CD (for Windows or Mac) contains 65 of Adobe's most popular typefaces, including test, display, script and symbol styles. It's a generous variety, without being overwhelming. An unexpected bonus was the inclusion of the Adobe Type Manager software to help organize our fonts. Adobe Type Basics is a great value.
