I have a simple question: has anyone tried using TrueType on a non-Apple 
printer? More specifically, a non-Apple PostScript Printer using a non-680x0 
processor?

I'm stongly considering buying the Epson EPL-7500, but I would be really 
depressed if I couldn't use it with TrueType (I guess I could convert all of the 
fonts to Type 1 Adobe fonts, but that's no fun).

Anyone out there w/expirience in this new arena? I could use a reply quickly, 
since I'd like to buy the printer within a few days.
