Postscript IS a vector based description language, including fonts.
The vectors are TRANSLATED into raster bitmaps for output.

This is also the case for windows truetype fonts.

Don Lancaster's site, the guru's lair at: www.tinaja.com has a WEALTH

Books, etc.

Anyone interested in PS fonts: There is a public domain program (with
source code available) called ghostscript which duplicates the PS
functionality.

Somewhere on a hard drive, I have a TTF description(pulled from the
web), also. If someone's interested, I'll look for it.
