Re: OTF font containing multiple faces

They are rare, but not unheard of.

I have an OTC version of FRBAmericanCursive. The AFDKO (Adobe Font Developer 
Kit for OpenType), which is an open source set of command line tools used in 
font development, has a script called `otf2otc`. You can use it to combine  
multiple OpenType fonts into a single OpenType font.

Best,
Fred Brennan
