Uck. Uck! UCK! UUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!!! More d**n controller-dependent junk.
I guess my NeXT printer won't be rendering "TrueType" fonts. Nor will any
other PostScript printer that uses a different controller (such as the
ones that use RISC chips).
Adobe ought to be pleased with this decision; their PostScript driver is
looking better and better.
