They want the AFMs (font metric files) around, in order to produce
accurate printing output.

Qt, instead, tries to embed the fonts inside the Postscript sent to the
printer, taking the fonts locally from disk, at the same place
from which X takes them (either from taking X's FontPaths or
/etc/X11/fs/config). Obviously, converting TrueType fonts to a form
embeddable in the Postscript requires code.
As they say, "we accept patches" :)

See

for some more clues.
