Hi Luca, I've been looking into it some more and it looks like there may be a way for me to enable using .otf fonts after all without trying to access the font files directly, I should know more after a couple of tests.
But this would not be ready until MoI v3 though.

I found a couple of things that I haven't tried, but maybe they can help.

Hi Luca, so I found out some more information.
There are actually 2 different varieties of .otf font files - one variety has "TrueType Outlines", and the other variety has "PostScript Outlines".
The "TrueType Outlines" type of .otf file should work currently in MoI v1 and v2.
The "PostScript Outlines" type of .otf file will not currently work in MoI v1 or v2, but I think that I have got this fixed up so that MoI v3 should be able to use them.

Michael,

http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/FB/TRAP/F_TRAP-10005000.html
Adobe, so maybe is the PS.... It's well recognize by windows, not by moi.
Thanks omac12! I will try today the conversion.

Hi, falcon76,
Just checking to see if you were able to find a resolution to your problem? If so, could I ask what solved it? I've a feeling I'd like to be prepared in case I wind up in the same boat.

Dear omac12, sorry for the late reply, busy with some stuff.
Anyway, at the beginning I solve just with the text needed saved in .ai from Illustrator.
But after I need more control inside Moi. The tool discovery by Michael was too expensive for me (it's just a personal project, no money for this.....).
So I try your suggestion. No luck with the first link. I have download from the second one the freeware Type light 2.2 software (there are two professional version 2.2 and 3.0) and it make the conversion very well!
I just need to use the option: "Convert to TT curves" from "Global Ops" menu', because as already said by Michael the .otf contain some Postscript curves. Save as... in .tff and after the installation of the true type in Windows, the font was perfectly usable inside moi.
So thanks for your help!

You're welcome. As I said before I had not tried them, so thank you for doing the testing for me. Now I know what works. :-)
