See www.opentype.org: OpenType is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation
(bottom of page)
The handdrawn-like "O" is a logo used by Microsoft as the icon representing
OpenType fonts.
However the OpenType web site is apparently fixed only to this presentation
page, with a single link to MonoType Corporation, not to the previous
documentation hosted by Microsoft.
Is Microsoft stopping supporting OpenType, and about to sell the technology
to the MonoType font foundry?
