   Does anyone know the Digital (no, not International) Typeface Corporation (DTC)?
   I have seen some of their fonts and they didn't look too bad, although the truth
   will only come out at higher resolutions than 300 dpi. However, I found for
   example their Bodoni-DTC to be aesthetically preferable to most other Bodonis I
   have seen. So, I was wondering, if DTC is any good in the technical department
   as well, and if yes, where can I buy these fonts?

DTC font sets come bundled with several products, including LaserMaster
printers and Micrografx Designer.

DTC fonts are hinted, but make no use of hint replacement, for example.  
If you have `commercial grade' fonts from other foundries, you may want to
make sure that installation of the DTC fonts does not overwrite them with
fonts that use the same file names...
