This webcast is about a new cross –platform font file format developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft. Adobe has converted the entire Adobe Type Library into this format and now offers thousands of OpenType fonts.
The two main benefits of the OpenType format are its cross-platform compatibility (the same font file works on Macintosh and Windows computers), and its ability to support widely expanded character sets and layout features, which provide richer linguistic support and advanced typographic control.
In my opinion, as a student of graphic design, fonts gives personality and life to every design, they are as important as color, content, and composition, and it’s scencial to the succses of all designs. No doubt that typography can turn a design from good to great!

Every font contains a full set of characters, an a million of examples and different types for every phrase and letter. Besides, with open types font you don't have to change fonts if you change language, the exactly same font will work on different languages, it has multiple languages characters sets, that is one great and useful tool.
If you buy adobe creative suite 3. You will have a million of different fonts to chose from. This means that Adobe Indesign CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, and adobe Illustrator CS3 put together to give you multiples styles and a hundred of fonts. You will be able to chose a character and give it personality (Fig.3), you can chose automatically to apply ligatures for elegance, or even old style figures (fig 4).
