Dov - In principal, I fully agree with you. However, in practice, 
there are some situations where ONLY truetype fonts can be used.

  Examples include embroidery programs that do their own rendering to 
'convert' from text to stitches in a design file. In this case, font 
quality isn't an issue, given the the comparitively low resolution 
available when using thread instead of ink or pixels :)

While a font manager would be appropriate for switching between T1 and 
TT versions of a font, in our multi-tasking world some people would 
really like to be able to have both a high quality original Adobe T1 
font installed for preparing a document while taking breaks from an 
embroidery digitization task.
