The update to Freehand 3.1 for Windows is supposed to be available free,
according to The Computer Shopper. The info Computer Shopper gives on Freehand
3.1 is:
        Supports pressure sensitive stylus input; Windows 3.1
        compatible; more accurate registration marks; color
        libraries.

The number for more info is: (206) 628-2320.

I am assuming that since FH 3.1 for Windows will support Windows 3.1, it will
also support Truetype, which is, of course, built into Win 3.1. I have also
read that FH 3.1 for Windows is completely identical (ignoring the underlying
differences of Mac vs. Windows OS) to the Macintosh version 3.1 of Freehand.
