     You need either the StyleWriter or the Personal LaserWriter LS
installation disks, which are available from the same place on apple.com.
Both of these disks have the TrueType INIT, which lets 6.0.7 use the TrueType
outline fonts.  You'll also find a new version of Font/DA Mover, which is
necessary to see the TrueType outline fonts in the font suitcases on the
truetype-fonts disk.  (BTW, for the System 7 users out there, you may have
noticed that the System 7 betas don't come with Font/DA Mover, and that the
Finder won't let you run System 6's Font/DA Mover.  The new 4.something version
on the StyleWriter/Personal LaserWriter LS disks *will* run and work under
System 7.  It's not as useful a tool since you can just drag fonts between
suitcases yourself, but it is handy if you want/need to create a new suitcase
file for some reason (you don't have to duplicate an existing suitcase and then
drag everything out of it to the Trash).
