See individual font websites for details, including some important notes about changes that may affect you. If you are updating from version 5 fonts be aware that version 6+ is a major upgrade. This may cause document reflow as some glyphs widths have changed and some features have been removed. Please do not assume that you can replace version 5 with version 6 with no resulting changes to your publications.
