The best way for me to characterize it is that it gives me the power of AFDKO's "spot" tool, and that of TTX, but wrapped up in nice GUI. It handles CJK fonts well, including those with a large number of glyphs. I especially appreciate that there is a Mac OS X version, because that is the OS that I use. <i>[I should add that I've found TTX sometimes just fails to translate certain fonts; it seems that OTMaster may be more robust. - T]</i> As someone who works with OpenType fonts on an every-day basis, and with the tools that are used to build and check them, I would like to state here that DTL OTMaster is a fabulous tool.
