I'm looking to purchase specific weights of the FF Milo on Font Shop and they have different versions... OT which I'm assuming is Open Type and then they have FF Milo Rg, LF & TF. What are these? My first guess was TF=True Type? What is LF?
I'm guessing this is going to be fairly obvious and I'll look like a font moron but better to ask and learn.

rg = raster graphics probably?
- horton0
regular, light and title i'd guess

I know what Rg stands for... Regular... I'm wondering what LF & TF stand for
- Corvo0
hmm - you're talking about file formats or variants?
- TheBlueOne0
LF = Lining Figures
- horton0
title face and light serifs.. read the PDFs

if you look at the link rainman posted it's not clear that its a weight per se and neither a file format... hence the complication....
- Corvo0
So we have to click that link, huh?
- horton0
not file formats...
Choose format(s) during checkout.

I thought it was for Lining Figures and Tabular Figures...

where the hell is Typo?! isn't that his shop?
- Corvo0
LF = lining figures ^
TF = tabular figures
Rg = not in this glossary: http://www.fontshop.com/support/…

glad I'm not the only one confused...

Lining figures (LF): Numbers that rest on the baseline, and are usually the same heights as capital letters. Lining figures are usually tabular.
Tabular Figures (TF): Numbers that share identical character widths (that is, they are monospaced). Using tabular figures enables you to set columns of numbers, and have them line up vertically. This is especially useful for tables, thus “tabular”.

This thread has been at Number One all afternoon. Despite that fact, I have no desire to read it.
