8.2. Postscript Fonts

The near future has PostScript fonts replaced by OpenType, which can be only a good thing, because the majority of problems you'll run into with Type 1 fonts is due to the double-file suitcase/printer font approach.

8.2.1. Helvetica Fractious

If you use the Type 1 font Helvetica Fractions, don't. It is decidedly Mac OS X-unfriendly and causes all sorts of general mayhem. It has particularly nasty effects in Address Book and iChat, where it displays overlapping numbers and characters—even though you're not actually using it (on purpose); Safari is not very fond of it either. So, if you've installed this font, you should uninstall it right away.
