Hi Antoine, others,
Questions about OpenType vs TrueType come up often in my work, so perhaps the list will suffer a couple of questions in that regard.
First, I see an "O" icon, not an "OT" icon in Windows' "Fonts folder" for some fonts and a "TT" icon for others. Nothing looks like "OT" to me, so are we talking about the same thing?
See www.opentype.org: OpenType is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation (bottom of page)
The handdrawn-like "O" is a logo used by Microsoft as the icon representing OpenType fonts.
However the OpenType web site is apparently fixed only to this presentation page, with a single link to MonoType Corporation, not to the previous documentation hosted by Microsoft.
Is Microsoft stopping supporting OpenType, and about to sell the technology to the MonoType font foundry?
