In the Beginning of the Postscript:
Adobe introduced Postscript in 1985 & put the computer world in a tizzy. Postscript is a scaleable font system that is compatible with Postscript printers. It allows users to see fonts on the screen the same way they would be printed – this was the first WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
Up until this time fonts were in the form of bitmaps and were not screen scaleable. Adobe had cornered the market, desktop publishers and graphic artists had to buy into Adobe’s font system if they wanted screen scaleable fonts.
Not much, really. Postscript fonts use an algebraic function of cubic polynomials whereas TrueType uses a quadratic polynomial. TrueType may be faster in the printing process but as computer processors get faster that difference will soon be unnoticeable. The real difference lies in how the fonts are managed by the computer. TrueType fonts contain complete packs of information on the fonts, while Postscript fonts contain some information, but the brains are located within the Adobe Type Manager (ATM) — free if you purchase any of Adobe’s programs.
