Matt:

Forget it. "TrueType for DOS" hooks directly into a short list of
about 8 old DOS word processors, requires you to select a 1980s
printer, and replaces the EXEcutable of your WP with its own modified
stub version -- you can't trick it. Moreover, we had hoped that it
might somehow enable you to use any TrueType font in your inventory in
a DOS environment; in fact it provides 36 proprietary fonts of its own
along with a scaling engine, and invites you to buy more fonts at
*special* prices. There is no indication that generic TT fonts work
with it. Its a dead end, IMO.
