More information. OpenType is a relatively new format, with features of
both Type 1 and TrueType fonts. Also, fonts may incorporate additional
features (e.g., several optical sizes in one font file, additional glyphs)
if put there by the designer.  More information at

http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/main.html

Though I don't know for sure, I suspect that existing Type 1-based
applications will need revision to support OpenType fonts.
