Fontsmith fonts are supplied in both Postscript and OpenType formats. Postscript Type1 fonts for the Macintosh are made up of two files: a font suitcase for screen display, and a printer font file for printing.

OpenType fonts are natively supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS X. With ATM (Light or Deluxe), you can use them as far back as Windows 98 and Mac OS 8.6.
