My understanding (please fix my understanding if its broken) is that true-type fonts are in a universal format and thus can run on any platform that has a true-type rendering engine.  (should include recent Apple products, since they were in on developing the TT standard with Adobe).

My further understanding, again I could be wrong but I've looked into it, is that postscript doesn't handle True-type fonts natively, but the level 3 Postscript version of the language is capable of using the OS's underlying true-type engine.  Fonts in postscript are referenced  on a glyph (curve) basis, and true-type is more of a post-script-like rendering language, with special constructs for rendering fonts at low resolutions.
