"I understand, of course, that the curves need to be translated by the 
printer .."

That's the part I'm disagreeing with. Only if the font itself is 
resident on or downloaded to the printer does that happen. In all 
other cases, the translation from curves and metrics and fills to xy 
coordinates is done on the computer side.

The OP's question, and mine, is whether or not some applications 
bypass the operating system's xy rendering engine and do their own.
