I'd say OTF fonts if they have the same quality.
OTF usually supports additional features such as true smallcaps, swashes, ligatures, different numerals etc. Also OTF can hold more glyphs than TTF and especially Type1. OTF comes in two flavors: TTF and CFF. Any app which supports TTF should also be able to work with the first variant; but may not support the additional features. Opensource apps based on Freetype support both variants (without the addditional features). Printer support is something different. Scribus currently converts all OTF fonts to outlines for printing because some professional printers choke on OTF. This gives the same output quality at the cost of sometimes larger files and disabling text searches in print files. Still, the future is with OTF. Scribus 1.4 will support advanced OTF features, and other apps will probably, too. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/New-fonts-as-OT-or-just-TTF-Type1--t1323513.html#a3536831 Sent from the Scribus forum at Nabble.com.
