I'd go with OpenType because it can be used more places and is more flexible. In Distiller, make sure that Distiller is set to embed fonts, and that the directories in which your fonts are stored are listed... If you install the font properly in Windows, FM will recognize it. I don't know

You should be able to use any of these font technologies without any major problems. I'd tend to recommend OpenType mainly because it is the newest technology and because both Adobe and Microsoft were involved in developing it. When installing fonts on a Windows system you use the Control
