According to the textbook, what is OpenType? Summarize in your own words.
OpenType is a cross-platform font file format developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft.

OpenType offers expanded character sets and layout features, such as swashes and discretionary ligatures, that aren't available in traditional PostScript and TrueType fonts. This, in turn, provides richer linguistic support and advanced typography control.
