With OpenType Adobe hopes to make life easier for font users everywhere. As you can see in the image above, one OpenType font file replaces three (of which only two are really needed) intelligently named files on Mac OS (on the left) and/or two completely ridiculous named files on Windows (on the right). Yeah and it also offers Unicode support, glyphs, ligatures swashes and other miscellaneous type doohickeys all in a single, homogenous, cross-platform, easy to move package.
