Does one exist? Does it work? (we will leave out the acceptance / popularity part). I am getting a distinct sense of deja vu here. As I already pointed out, this was discussed somewhere, and I was told almost exactly what you said. But nobody has named any font / OS / layout / rendering environment / library / application whatever. Obviously, I am an ignoramus. But my question remains - what alternative to OpenType? -- Mahesh T. Pai || It's not the software that's free; it's you.
