The ability to display TrueType fonts (fonts which look good at any
point size) is built in to System 7.0.  The System 7.0 disks come with
the standard set of TrueType fonts; to install them, you just drag
them into the System file.

There are (two?) disks that come with the StyleWriter printer and are
also available from ftp.apple.com that contain TrueType fonts, a
TrueType INIT, and the Font/DA Mover 4.1.  These disks are for getting
TrueType functionality under System 6.0.7.

The Font/DA Mover 4.1 is included with the TrueType disks because the
old Font/DA Mover (3.8) didn't recognize TrueType fonts.  You don't
normally need the Font/DA Mover under System 7.0, but you can grab a
copy of 4.1 off the TrueType disks if you need it for special tasks
(like moving fonts and DA's directly into and out of applications).

I hope this clears things up a bit.
