Looks like Font Folio 11.1 released today, per http://adobe.com/products/fontfolio.
Can anyone tell us what is new in the past 5 years? I had hoped for some better glyph coverage in fonts like Utopia, but I don't see any evidence of that in the documentation, but I'm still hopeful?
The list of 80 additional fonts does not seem all that exciting for Western users, but perhaps much more so for users of other Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, etc.
Comparing the PDF font listings, here's what the new faces are:

I suppose one answer is just "upgrade and find out." Looking at the case of Utopia, can I assume that the latest version from UtopiaStdReadMe.html is available? For instance, it reads:
The following faces have version 2.096:
The following faces have version 2.097:
version 2.097 created 2011/03/16
version 2.096 created 2010/12/17
version 2.076 created 2009/11/23
version 2.066 created 2009/08/11
version 2.050 created 2007/08/16
So can I assume FF11.1 will have Utopia 2.097? I can't really see anything in the above that looks like a user-visible change of significance...
On the other hand, FF11.1 upgrades seem to be extremely reasonably priced. List price of the upgrade is $29.95/seat (20-pack), so really that's chump-change. So I suppose I can't really go wrong. But it's hard to get excited about, especially when I already have Adobe Text and Hypatia Pro from giveaway incentives (though I guess having them in FF clarifies some potentially thorny licensing questions...)
Thanks!
