   Either one should work.  Probably the only difference between the   
   Linux and Windows versions is the PostScript metrics files included   
   with each (AFM or PFM), but I think OS/2 can handle either format.   
      
   If you meant, which of TTF or PostScript you should install, that's   
   entirely up to you.  OS/2 supports both just fine.   
      
   If you're printing to a PostScript printer, you can get higher-quality    
   printed text from PostScript (PFB) fonts.  OTOH, TrueType fonts have   
   some advantages if you need to display text from many different   
   languages/alphabets, as they can contain Unicode cmaps and have room   
   to support greater numbers of characters.
