Professional designers, on the other hand, need to care not just about typeface and foundry, but also about the exact version of fonts.
Back when magazines weren't nearly dead, I did production for a few years. The very first issue I worked on, I screwed up an ad by using a newer version of the font - the leading tables were different and a text block wrapped when it shouldn't have, so the advertiser got a couple free runs.
Always turned off rendering in lists and menus where I could, because it was not useful, slow, and harder to read.
