Page "TrueType" Paragraph 6

All of these fonts could now scale to all sizes on screen and printer, making the Macintosh OS7 the first to work without any bitmap fonts.

The early TrueType systems being still part of Apple's QuickDraw graphics subsystem, did not render Type 1 fonts on-screen as they do today.

At the time, many users had already invested considerable money in Adobe's still proprietary Type 1 fonts.

As part of Apple's tactic of opening the font format versus Adobe's desire to keep it closed to all but Adobe licensees, Apple licensed TrueType to Microsoft.

When TrueType and the license to Microsoft was announced, John Warnock of Adobe gave an impassioned speech in which he claimed Apple and Microsoft were selling snake oil, and then announced that the Type 1 format was open for anyone to use.
