Actually, the announcement was that IBM will support the Adobe font
technology in all of their SAA (Systems Applications Architecture)
platforms; so this includes much more than just OS/2. It also includes
mainframes, AIX platforms, etc.
IBM said that they will support the Royal font format, as well as the Adobe
fonts, in their version of OS/2, but they also indicated that the Adobe
font technology would be the "default." (The official name for Royal is
now True Type, I think.) Apparently there has not yet been a decision made
about wether True Type will be supported by IBM on platforms other than
OS/2.
