You are focusing on the wrong problem. Application designers choose
TrueType for portability. SDL applications, for instance, may use
libSDL-ttf to display TrueType fonts. We do not need to support platforms
that don't have Type1 fonts. However, we do need to support applications
written with support for platforms that don't have Type1 fonts.
