On: PostScript’s sudden death in Sonoma

[GeekyBear]

Adobe itself has deprecated PostScript in favor of it's PDF implementation, and has removed support for True Type and Type 1 Postscript fonts from their products.

Fixed, thanks.

Type 1 fonts are still supported on macOS though.

The font support?

It was depreciated a couple of years ago and has been removed from current versions of the software as of this year.

> As announced in January 2021, support for all Type 1 fonts in Adobe products is ended after January 2023. Users no longer have the ability to author content using Type 1 fonts in updated Adobe products.

Adobe software will not recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even if you have Type 1 fonts installed in your desktop operating system:

It's the end of an era.

I think they were correcting the spelling from depreciated to deprecated

[gjvc → GeekyBear]

depreciation is what happens to you car. deprecation is what happens to file formats.

[sroussey → GeekyBear]

depreciated != deprecated

[fisherjeff → andybak]

True, unless Adobe considers PS support to be a fixed asset
