TrueType using a completely different type of curve (cubic splines, I think) than PS does - so when trying to render TT fonts to a PS device, there is a lot of math conversion between the two and you get worse results. However, on a QuickDraw (on non-PS device), TT fonts will come out nicer (and faster).
