If you’re a graphic design professional, you probably use - and most likely prefer - this format. In many cases, graphic designers are comfortable with PostScript fonts because they’ve always used them. In addition, many graphic designers work with service bureaux and printers that have already made large investments in PostScript fonts. Finally, if you’re looking for fonts with expert sets or alternate characters, you’ll most likely find them available as PostScript fonts.

Whether you’re working in a Macintosh or Windows environment, a lot of great fonts - in the most popular font formats - are available from Monotype Imaging.
