I have recently placed an online, illustrated, hypertext version 
of the TrueType specifications available for anonymous ftp on 
ftp.uu.net in the /vendor/microsoft/TrueType-Info directory.  
This is one file (tt-help.zip) is in Windows help format, which
means that if you have Windows 3.1, you already have everything 
needed to use this.  It comes complete with colored code words 
that enables you to quickly jump from one section to another, 
in addition to a complete alphabetic jump-listing of each 
TrueType instruction.  This is the same 400 page book which is
also available in Word for Windows format in that same directory.

In fact, you can even make this hypertext version into an icon on 
your desktop so that you can just double click on it to launch the 
program.  Look in the "readme.txt" file in that directory for 
instructions on how to accomplish this.  There is also a pkunzip.exe
program in that directory in case you are having problems in 
uncompressing these files.

The same online reference is also available on Compuserve in for 
those people who don't have access to ftp on the Internet.  It is
located in the Windows SDK section ("GO WINSDK"), under library #9 
(GDI).  It will also be appearing in a future Microsoft Developer's
Network CD-ROM disk.
