Welcome to OpenType from Monotype

Advanced Typography Without Boundaries

OpenType® Pro fonts provide more extensive language support than any previous font format. They can make working in different languages easier by including multiply language character sets in a single font. All Monotype® OpenType Pro fonts include the standard latin character set used in the Western world and Eastern European character sets such as Polish and Turkish.

OpenType Pro fonts allow you to harness the powerful features of advanced typography in all your work. Western PostScript® font sets are limited to just 256 characters; the promise of OpenType is to simplify design and publishing workflow by supporting over 65,000 characters in a single package. OpenType Pro fonts, used with OpenType supported software give you faster access to expert set characters such as old style figures, small capitals, fractions, swashes, superiors, inferiors, titling letters, contextual and stylistic alternatives and ligatures. Simply install the OpenType Pro font of your choice for wider character support.

The Future For Fonts

With their advanced and time saving features, OpenType fonts are set to become the de facto standard. An ever increasing number of software vendors are realising that OpenType compliance is a key issue in securing future support from users. Even those in the transition to full compatibility can still utilise the basic character sets, in readiness to full compliance and access to all of the advanced features of OpenType Pro fonts. What’s more, because OpenType fonts are cross-platform compatible, it’s easier to license the right font for all your users.

System Requirements

Depending on the software application you are using, you’ll be able to leverage some or all of the features of the OpenType format. Check the support that your software package provides for OpenType.

Monotype OpenType Pro fonts are designed for computers running Mac OS® X and Windows® 2000 or greater.
