It's a fair point, and might call into question my characterization of EOT as a "niche" solution without better CFF support. But your last sentence is certainly not true for Adobe (and any other foundry which primarily makes CFF-based fonts). Any issues with CFF fonts in Win/IW/ EOT are certainly quite major in the short term (if not longer) from our perspective. -Christopher
