    Type versions: Do we need up update our fonts? How would we even do that? Also: I use a font that has shorter digits than letters. I end up adjusting it in InDesign with a character style and a Grep style. I wish there were consistency in letter/digit heights. Interesting conversation and the reassuring words on TT are appreciated.

      If you have old Type 1 fonts, you will probably need to get new versions. Mike talked about that here: https://creativepro.com/how-to-tell-which-files-use-type-1-postscript-fonts/

      If you have purchased specific fonts, you may need to go back to the font foundry to see if they have later versions.
