Are fonts generally sold in cross-platform formats?

I'm thinking Linux, here, in a Windoze/Mac world.


You can use Windows postscript fonts in Linux without problems.

If you just want to use them in OpenOffice, you can use the OpenOffice Printer Administration Tool, spadmin, to add them via a GUI.

If you want to make the fonts available to your entire system, follow the directions at:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ch-ctsystem.en.html#s-af

If you're not using Debian GNU/Linux or a distro based on it, the only change in the instructions is how you install the package you need.

"'To be, or not to be; that's the question,' said Eeyore. 'Some of us can, and some of us can't, and that's all there is to it. You know what I've been suffering, Piglet? Slings and arrows, that's what. And it's my birthday as well. I would have liked a balloon. But what do I get? Slings and arrows. Not to mention a sea of troubles. Did I mention a sea of troubles, Piglet?'"
