Does Microsoft applications depend on that ? Deborah: How about MacOS and Mac OS Apps Any Linux application use that ? Ken: Do you know any Adobe software depend on that? I heard a rumer said that those bits are usually unset and keep as 0. But I found that some of the font are set if I use ttfdump to look at them. Thanks
