It's not about what causes viruses on computers, whether one is open source or not, I was being really short with my explanation, because it's not that important. Spamjim, you're confusing the issue here. Yeh OTF is designed to work Cross Platform - that's what I said from the beginning.
Here's a screen shot of my fonts in use, A - B and there are plenty of Non-OTF in there.

But they are a problem at prepress, especially when dealing with Mac vs PC fonts.Īdobe are not the only company in the world that make fonts. I never said I have a problem with fonts. It's true in some respects that the way it's coded makes it easier to make viruses for Windows. RE: InDesign on a Mac MINI spamjim (Instructor) 18 Aug 09 10:07 So if buying fonts get the OTF version instead. There is still problems with TTF, PS fonts and others and cross platform problems. And the Font issue is not a bogus issue at all. Most folks DO NOT USE OTF, in fact, most don't even know what OTF are outside of printing and design. As long as you are connected to the internet you are at risk. So you still need to have protection on your system against things like this. Macs are still susceptible to trojan horses and to phishing scams. Macs are harder to crack the code, because it's written so differently and not worth the time and effort for hackers when they have a wider base to attack and easier to attack too.

Where Windows is a huge base for sales and mostly used throughout homes and businesses, so it's more attractive for hackers to break the Windows code and hack people's computers and load viruses etc.

The fact it hasn't happened, so it's not so simple, because hackers don't know how to crack the Mac code. RE: InDesign on a Mac MINI apepp (TechnicalUser) 17 Aug 09 14:33Īctually Spamjim, if hackers knew how to crack the Mac code and infect all the Macs across the world, they would gain international fame immediately. (the common InDesign license allows 2 installs)ĭisclaimer: I use both Mac and Windows. and still have cash left over to buy her flowers to cope with the loss of her fight for Mac. For the price of a base Mac (like an iMac), you could buy both a Windows laptop and a powerful Windows desktop that could both run InDesign.
While powerful in their own little right, they are trinkets in the big picture.Īs a freelancer, I'd think one would be more interested in a laptop that one could take to clients to show work in progress. Mac Mini's are intended as the cheap first puff before an expensive addiction. :)Ī Mac Mini can run InDesign for the short term but I wouldn't count on it to last for many more upgrades of InDesign. Of course you could be more marketable too if you also learned more than Windows. If your wife wants to be more marketable, she'd do well to accept and work on more than one platform.
