CS3 bundled fonts
What fonts are bundled with Creative Suite 3? There will be a nicely formatted official page up in a week or two, but in the meantime, here's the raw scoop. A few added notes are in order, though.
Hypatia Sans isn't on the list as it's a registration incentive rather than (strictly speaking) bundled.
This list only has the Suite configurations. But here's what you need to know about some of the individual products in conjunction with that linked page:
- InDesign CS3 and Illustrator CS3 have the same bundle as Creative Suite 3 Design Standard
- Fireworks CS3 and Flash CS3 Professional bundle the Web Authoring Fonts.
- I *think* Photoshop CS3 has the "Standard Installed fonts" but not the "Standard Disk fonts"
I hope this is helpful. I'll link to the official page when it's up.

Arno Pro, a new Slimbach typeface
For months, buzz has been circulating about Robert Slimbach's Adobe Originals typeface Arno Pro, thanks to the Photoshop CS3 public beta, which included a pre-release version. Various intrepid folks made samples of (the pre-release) Arno for all to see in this Typophile thread. Starting today you can get the final version of Arno Pro by purchasing any configuration of Creative Suite 3 or its major consituent graphics applications such as InDesign CS3, Illustrator CS3 or Photoshop CS3. Now, the main place to go is this main page for Arno, with all sorts of samples including some links to high-res PDFs.
Hypatia Sans Pro, my new typeface
Well, it's finally here. Hypatia Sans Pro, the new typeface I've been working on since 2002, is now available (though not yet at retail). It's a geometric sans serif with humanist tendencies, and capitals based on classical roman proportions. When you register Creative Suite 3 or any of the individual CS3 products, you can get a "registration incentive" at no extra cost, and Hypatia Sans is one of the options. I wrote up a bunch of info and made a lot of graphics for the main Hypatia Sans page, including linked high-res PDFs. Robert Slimbach was kind enough to put together a nice text samples PDF, which I got too late to put on the main Web page - so for now you can only get it here.
Do follow the links above for general info on the design - I'm not going to repeat it all here. But I will add some more background and details that might be of interest.

Turned off comment authentication
I know, my TypeKey comment authentication set-up wasn't working. Plus it would have been a bit of a pain even if it was working. So, I've turned it off. At least I have more time to cope with the spam now..... :/

InDesign CS3 new font/text features
Adobe InDesign® CS3 has a ton of new features, many of which can be seen on its Web site. But there are also many features that aren't quite big enough to be seen on that august location. I thought I'd mention a few of them that are of particular interest to my fellow font geeks.
