Sorry, the first post didn't make sense (cat on keyboard - doesn't 
type very well) - rehashed:

If Omega is anything like Optima (the alternative download from this 
site), it's an unusual choice for the web.

Their font usage isn't consistent either. I have Optima installed on 
my Mac so I can see their pages the way they want. What might be 
Optima looks fuzzy to me, especially the italic; and Optima has a 
binocular 'g' and several of their pages use a font with a monocular 
'g'. If a font is that elusive, is it suitable for web work anyway? 
Optima's strokes are slim and variable, and it's not quite the sans 
serif it looks. It's beautiful, as you'd expect from Mr Zapf. I have 
a font addiction too!
