Ewww. A hard-coded app name. I'll fix that.

That's exactly what happens. I have no idea why, as I don't know  
PostScript. But my guess is that Type 1 is a standard font type  
that's used in all printers and RIPs, while TrueType is not. Heck,  
TrueType is only a few years old in the grand scheme of things. It  
probably wasn't too long ago that Windows could first use them.
