About OpenType fonts
OpenType fonts may include a number of features, such as swashes and discretionary ligatures, that aren’t available
in current PostScript and TrueType fonts. In addition, OpenType fonts provide alternate glyphs for many characters,
which you can insert using the Glyphs palette. (See “To highlight alternate glyphs in the text” on page 155.)
