In the general case, in investigating such programs, we have found that in fact, they really don't need TrueType fonts as opposed to Type 1 or OpenType CFF fonts, but rather, improperly parameterize their OS calls to exclude anything other than TrueType. Such programs do not do their own rendering, but let the OS do it and for which it is irrelevant whether the font is TrueType or Type 1. Examples of programs that improperly set their calls to exclude Type 1 fonts are Apple's FileMaker Pro and Microsoft's Visio.
