 From Wikipedia:
”TrueType is an outline font standard originally developed by Apple  
Computer in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's Type 1 fonts used in  
PostScript. TrueType has become the most common format for fonts on both  
the Mac OS and Microsoft Windows operating systems.”

So it should work on MacOS X, shouldn't it? I don't have MacOS X nor  
Windows so I can not do any tests.
