Don't see why it wouldn't. I'm pretty sure the capabilities of a
TrueType font is a subset of a PostScript type 1 font; not to mention
a PostScript type 3 font (which is an arbitrary PostScript program.)
There actually is a PostScript type code for a TrueType font; I don't
know how many PS interpreters will actually understand it, though.
