This is what I want to know as well, and preferably before I buy a
Personal Laserwriter LS...The thing that has stopped me buying the LW SC
has been the ugly font issues.  TrueType looks like it has solved that
little problem.

One other thing : Where can I get the TrueType font standard ?  Is it
available in any published or electronic form ?  Other than that :
TrueType looks Just Great (tm) - one up to Apple !

[I also upgraded to System 6.0.7 today, so I'm stuck with an American
system for a few months :-(  Dealers over here have just started
shipping 6.0.5 !!!]
