This is what Apple writes in a product information about the two new
printers, the LaserWriter LS and the StyleWriter:

"Will Apple make TrueType init available to all System 6.0 users?

Yes and no.  On one hand, we are recommending that people wait and upgrade
to System 7.0 (when it is available) to get the benefits of TrueType as well
as the full package of System 7 benefits.  On the other hand, we recognize
that some people may need TrueType in the interim.  Therefore, we are
exploring ways to make the same TrueType software and fonts that are
shipping with the printers available to other users prior to the shipment of
System 7.0"

WONDERFUL:  I belong to 'some people' and really need it right now. Can I
ftp it from somewhere? If soemone has it, can he send it to me?  Wow!


Thanks a lot, Apple!
