I remember being told that Type 1 fonts support cubic Bezier curves (start position + scaled direction, end position + scaled direction), while TrueType fonts only support quadratic curves (start point, end point, control point).
This has got me wondering:
- Which of the three font formats/standard has "glyph expressivity" which subsumes one or both of the others?
- For those pairs which don't subsume each other's expressivity, what are the features which each of them has and the other doesn't
Note: I'm not interesting in this like max number of characters and various Unicode-related tricks - just th encoding of glyphs.
