Ok, ya gotta get a program (actually it's a CDev) called Pointless from
(I think) Westcode Software.  Current version (again, I think) is 2.0.3.
This will allow you to use TrueType fonts in your Desktop based word processors.
And don't think you need a laser printer to use TT fonts.  I used a 24 pin
Panasonic and it made really decent documents with TT fonts (but now I do
have a laser printer :)
