But most printers, for example, don't "DO" bezier curves. Software in 
the computer does the rendering as an analysis of the equations and a 
conversion to a set of points. Different rendering engines can come up 
with different placement for the ink.  Or, in some environments, the 
rendering might be done by the printer rather than software in the 
computer - leading to differences.

Most embroidery programs,for example, work only with Truetype fonts, 
because they do their own conversion of the outlines to stitch positions.
