truetype fonts
I have always stayed away from these, but recently found a font style that I want to use for a new logo.
Am I best to continue staying away?

Unless your printer is using antiquated output equipment there’s been no reason to avoid TrueType since 1998. And in this case you’re making a logo - which I assume means that you’ll be converting to curves in an app like illustrator - there should be no issue? However, If you are feeling especially worried you could ask the font vendor to sell you a Type 1 version – I’m sure they’d be happy to take your money.

Simon puts it well. Worry Not.

Also many fonts use the TrueType format to take advantage of the excellent hinting capabilities that format provides. Tahoma/Verdana are an excellent example of this.

Most of my font collection is in TrueType format. I’ve never had problems.

...well, in case you only gonna use it with a logotype, and convert it to paths during the process it won’t make a difference if it was originally a tt font :)

I usually stay away from Type 1 fonts.
I grew up on TrueType.
