According to wikipedia:
The outlines of the characters (or glyphs) in TrueType fonts are made of straight line segments and quadratic Bézier curves. These 
curves are mathematically simpler and faster to process than cubic Bézier curves, which are used both in the PostScript-centered 
world of graphic design and in Type 1 fonts. However, most shapes require more points to describe with quadratic curves than 
cubics. This difference also means that it is not possible to convert Type 1 losslessly to the TrueType format, although in 
practice it is often possible to do a lossless conversion from TrueType to Type 1.[7]

Nevertheless could you explain why you need opentype fonts?
