To quote from the press release:

"Adobe System, Inc. today announced that it will provide a utility that 
converts Apple fonts to the Adobe Postscript format.  This announcement 
assures Macintosh customers that Apple's fonts can be printed on all 
Macintosh devices, including Postscript printers."

System 7.0 still supports bitmap fonts, and font developers can choose to 
use bitmaps at small sizes.  I don't know what will be done to provide 
outline fonts for existing Postscript fonts.

All processes share the same address space.  This question was asked at 
the Developer's Conference, and the reply said that offering protection 
between application heaps would be only part of the job, since low memory 
and the system heap is still shared between all applications.
