The same can be said about OpenType CFF fonts. There are some minor improvements in hinting between Type 1 and Type 2 (CFF), e.g. flex hints, but the mechanism is largely the same. Type 1 or CFF fonts work quite well in a PDF viewer, because you usually use larger point sizes. But they don't work that well as UI fonts, which is probably what you mean.

Anyone have any knowledge of anything current that uses type-1 on the screen? On paper? - Jim
