The problems aren't with the fonts themselves but with the rendering
engines. I've bought and installed Adobe Type 1 fonts and the result
was no better than the "free" fonts already available. The freetype
rendering of TrueType fonts is actually pretty good, which is why so
many users think that the MS fonts are so good. But the rendering of
Type 1 fonts should be improved.
