I'm trying to find a way to purchase and download Sabon LT Std. Although I've used that font for many years, I can't seem to find it safely available online. Any ideas?

    Let's go on a font hunt...

    The first thing is the LT in the name. That tells us it's a LinoType font. So the first place to look is Linotype Font Finder - Search Results - Sabon

    Here we find the story of Sabon and many Sabon fonts, but no Sabon Std. My guess is that Sabon Std has been retired and replaced by Sabon Pro. For Linotype, this basically means there are more characters in the font (central European especially, compare Linotype Support - OpenType and Linotype Support - OpenType). Sabon Pro fonts are available from Linotype themselves, and Myfonts.com.
