What does the LT, MT, or EF in my font name stand for?

You may find that some fonts contain the abbreviations LT, MT or EF in the name. These abbreviations represent the name of the foundry and should not be confused with the font weight. For example LT stands for Linotype, MT stands for Monotype, and EF stands for Elsner + Flake.

Older versions of fonts may not contain the abbreviation, as foundries occassionaly add the abbreviation when updating font data. Because fonts are generally updated to resolve issues, we only sell the most current versions of font data available.
