Most of the typography we do are dictionaries, bibles and similar. In the recent past TEFF has had several book design awards. I work as a typeface designer for TEFF. Most of what I do is to support my colleagues, who design the books. This can be the creation, modification, or alteration of typefaces, which are needed for the typographical designs. And I work for foundry projects as well. ---Jacques Only few people know, that TEFF is actually designing a lot of high quality typography.

But if you use a real screen-Postscript renderer, then the bitmap will be identical. I'm not saying it's worth the trouble though.

But this is not always the case. The results depend on which driver or programm you use. My colleague (I work for TEFF) added the remark, because the sample pages are good enough to give you an impression of how the typefaces look like, but they will never be 100 % indentical to the results you get by using the original fonts. ---Jacques Indeed, a rendered image image should be the same.
