> What is an opentype font? and what are the major difference between a > truetype font and an opentype font.
An OpenType font is simply a TrueType font with additional tables in it defined by Microsoft/Adobe. Some principal ones are GPOS/GSUB, which have to do with mark placement and glyph substitution, needed for complex text rendering (e.g. Arabic or Indic). For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/opentype. TrueType is originally an Apple spec, and Apple has different (additional) tables it uses for mark placement and glyph substitution. See http://developer.apple.com/fonts.
