Thanks so much for your prompt reply, Dov. Please reconsider this illogical, and insensitive assault on the design industry. In the middle, design becomes less valuable to business, and the industry at large, as it starts looking more and more alike. Adobe's move away from Type 1 fonts will move the design industry towards the middle eliminating a key tool that designers today can leverage to create distinct work.

I will state this clearly - many designers consider themselves to be print designers. Type 1 formats are perfectly suited to print applications now, and into the distant future, and only become obsolete if Adobe forces them to become so. Your rationale for the change is frankly nonsensical. Many of these aren't Adobe-owned fonts, and many are indeed Type 1 formats. Designers like me, with decades of experience and an appreciation for typography, have gone to lengths to build font collections that are curated and reflect our personal design philosophies and aesthetic. Greetings Harshika - I'm writing out of concern for the newly announced policy regarding support for Type1 fonts. I have written the following to document my reaction to this announcement: Thus, if you are using fonts from Adobe Fonts, you are not affected at all. (4) The Adobe Fonts service never has supported Type 1 fonts at all. (3) Even with the deprecation of Type 1 font support in applications such as InDesign, Illustrator, and FrameMaker in January 2023, you will still be able to place EPS and PDF content with embedded Type 1 fonts into these application documents and subsequently be able to display, print, and export PDF content from same. This is required by the ISO PDF specification. (2) Adobe PDF-based products including Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Acrobat Standard, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and the Adobe Mobile Readers (iOS and Android) will continue to support the display, printing, and text editing of PDF files using Type 1 fonts. PostScript, Adobe PDF Print Engine, and Adobe Embedded Print Engine-based RIPs/DFEs and printers will by definition continue to support Type 1 fonts. Neither PostScript nor PDF are affected by this. Type 1 fonts are an integral part of the PDF specification as well. (1) It is unfortunate that the wording Type 1 fonts (PostScript) was used in the above posting.
