AFAIK, TrueType fonts *are* downloaded to the printer, but only if it
can handle it [ie some sort of Laser printer]. Most of these printers
have the standard fonts built-in, like Times New Roman, Arial and
Courier. I know this because several years ago, a school laser
printer kept running out of memory truncating the page. Searching the
printer options found "print as graphics" was turned on. Turning it
off let me print out the whole page.
[BTW, this printer was one of those Windows-only things]

Since you download the TrueType font, with these laser printers, you
do get all these size things.
