Adobe applications will not recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even
if you have Type 1 fonts installed in your desktop operating system:

1. Type 1 fonts will not appear in the Fonts menu.

2. There would be no way to use previously installed Type 1 fonts.

3. Existing Type 1 fonts will appear as “Missing fonts” in the document.


If you are writing documents with LaTeX  and using Type1 fonts then there
will be no change!!

Type1 fonts now obsolete

2023-03-13 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all,

You probably know this already, but in January 2023 Adobe software
stopped supporting Type1 fonts. This means that any documents
containing Type1 fonts cannot be accurately depicted on the latest Adobe
software. This pretty much means Type1 fonts shouldn't be used.

Now I'll need to audit all my books, some of which were written in the
20th century, to make sure they don't use Type1 fonts, and if they do,
change to the closest possible Opentype or Truetype fonts.
