Even with all the discussion concerning TrueType and PostScript,
I'm still a bit in the dark concerning several aspects.

I understand (somewhat) the topics concerning fonts, but doesn't
PostScript do a whole lot more than just fonts?  Like graphics, 
to begin with?  It seemes to me that MacDraw, Illus., FreeHand, etc
implemented PostScript for printing, displaying, or both.  What
would graphics be like without PostScript?  Does QuickDraw do
a good enough job at laserprinting non-font graphics?  Or does
MicroSoft's TrueImage take care of this?

Pardon my lack of a linear train of thought. This just sort of
hit me. Any response would be appreciated.

Thanks

-Patrick
