![]() If the original font is an OpenType CFF font, you can do edits in Acrobat Pro if you have the original OpenType CFF font installed on your system. Quite frankly, it doesn't make a difference what Suitcase labels the fonts as (maybe they should label them as Fred and Barney!). With regards to what InDesign labels OpenType CFF fonts as when creating PDF, consider that labelling a side effect of the fact that within a PDF file the original Type 1 fonts and OpenType CFF fonts are both typically inserted as Type 1C fonts, Bezier outline-based fonts with CFF encoding. (Type 1 fonts are an integral part of the PostScript and PDF specifications!) Note that Adobe is absolutely not dropping support for Type 1 fonts in Acrobat or for purposes of placing existing EPS and PDF files with embedded Type 1 fonts into InDesign, Illustrator, and FrameMaker documents. In terms of which font formats will be supported, InDesign, Illustrator, and FrameMaker as well as Photoshop will continue to support OpenType CFF, OpenType TTF, OpenType Variable CFF2, OpenType Variable TTF, OpenType SVG TTF, and OpenType SVG TTF as well as the original TrueType fonts (although such older TrueType fonts have many of the same limitations as the Type 1 fonts). OpenType TTF is based on quadratic curve outlines and a different hinting mechanism, the same as with TrueType fonts. OpenType CFF is based on Bezier outlines and hinting using the same technology as the original Type 1 fonts. I think you mean OpenType CFF versus OpenType TTF.
