Because the fonts in Apple's printers are owned by Adobe, and licensed
for use in LW's.  Apple can't use those fonts outside the LW's without
paying additional licensing fees to Adobe.  Avoidance of those licensing
fees is the only substantial reason I can see for TrueType to exist at all.

Basically, you have to wait for Apple to recreate those fonts in TrueType
form.  (Or buy ATM and the Plus Pack, and be done with it.)
