Adobe Web Type
Adobe has released their first type package designed
specifically for on-screen reading. The package contains
special versions of Minion, Myriad, Caflish Script, Mezz,
Penumbra and Giddyup. The fonts are all in TrueType
format (a first for Adobe), and are specially hinted for
extra screen quality.
To experience the true quality of these
fonts, you need to see them "embedded" on a web
page. Because Netscape and IE4 each use different
embedding systems, I've created two different pages, one
for Internet Explorer 4 and one for Netscape 4.
If you have both browser's you'll be able to compare
the speed and quality of both systems. If you have only
one, then you'll still get to experience font embedding,
which is powerful, but not yet widely used.
For those of you with older browsers, choose the third
option to see a page showing the fonts in GIF format.

Coming soon: View these fonts using the
embedding technologies of the V4 browsers.
Internet Explorer 4 - "OpenType Embedding"
Navigator 4 - "TrueDoc Embedding"
