Difference between OpenType Pro and Std

Typotheque offers two kinds of OpenType fonts: Pro and Std. If you work mainly with Latin-based languages (Western, Central-European, Eastern-European, Baltic or Turkish) our OpenType Std fonts are what you need. If your work includes non-Latin typography, combining Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, you need our OpenType Pro fonts. Both versions, Std and Pro, include a wealth of typographic features which are available in OpenType-savvy applications. OpenType features are design-sensitive, so they can vary between fonts (please consult our PDF font specimen sheets for full coverage of OpenType features), but we usually include small capitals, inferior & superior numerals and letters, case-sensitive forms, various styles of figures (old-style, tabular, lining, old-style tabular), and ornaments, in both Std and Pro fonts.

So the important difference between Typotheque's OpenType Std and Pro fonts is that Std fonts do not include Cyrillic and Greek characters. All other features in these fonts are identical.

—OpenType Std
Fonts supporting Latin-based languages, including Western, Central and Eastern European Languages, with eight different numeral styles, inferior and superior forms, case sensitive forms, arrows, pictograms, and more. See the complete list of 44 languages that Typotheque OpenType Std fonts support.

For example Fedra Sans Std Book contains characters from the following PostScript fonts in a single file.

—OpenType Pro
In addition to the features that OpenType Std offers, Typotheque Pro fonts also include support for Cyrillic and Greek (including Polytonic or Ancient Greek), and their small capitals. See the list of all 71 languages that Typotheque OpenType Pro supports.

For example Fedra Sans Pro Book contains characters from the following PostScript fonts in a single file.

OpenType fonts work in all applications, however only some applications (OpenType-savvy) take advantage of the advanced OpenType features. See the list of applications which currently support OpenType. Applications which are not OpenType-savvy will only use the first 256 characters (the Western encoding for PostScript) of the font.
