HTF, absolutely, oG.
I was so jealous that Apple had commissioned them to create Hoefler Text for Macintosh, but no Windows version. My thirst fibnally sated when Barbara and I bought our first Mac in 1998 and the text came with it.
CrossFont was our solution to making a TTF version for our Windows machines, a reasonably priced program that works even in Windows 10; the OTF file format makes most of the use of CrossFont moot, but every once in a while I come across a PFB than needs porting.
If ya got the bucks (I used to), there's also used to buy from LHF—LetterHead Fonts—and anything I could find from the URW foundry in Germany. It's not common knowledge, but URW OEMs for Adobe, Bitstream, Monotype, Linotype in particular. S it just made sense to me that, for example, a URW version of Roger Excoffin's Banco would be at least as good as Birstream's.
Strike that: Bitstream offers Banco is Bold, all UpperCase. URW had regular and bold Upper and lower case.
