Wow, good read! (Didn't have time to watch the video yet :-)) Indeed I always thought PS < TTF < OTF while this is apparently pretty wrong. That's definitely something I need to look out for when buying fonts. It looks like one needs to check first, how the shop/author/whoever defines "TrueType" and "OpenType", so you really know what you get :-/ Best regards Andreas

Many thanks for the very interesting resources, Wolfgang. My small contribution would be a video from Erik Spiekermann (the reknown typographer) on letterpress printing: https://vimeo.com/95682050. Although the audio is mainly in German, English subtitles are available. Just in case any list member may enjoy it, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
