apple was the first company to make a home printer with PostScript which meant people could print their own work for the first time at home, this was groundbreaking. All their fonts had to be compatible with PostSript technology and used adobe's type 1 fonts.
Then later apple invented truetype to get away from adobe, they liscened this to microsoft.
so apple pretty much started everything. Now both windows xp and osx can read truetype files fine.
Hopefully in the end though we'll all use the far superior opentype format which can store 1000s of character in one font.
