not 100% but pretty sure the suckless folks are in the static bitmapped font camp - TTF and PS are raster formats.

[aardvark291]

aren't "bitmapped" and "raster" pretty much synonymous?

[Stratoscope]

They are. cat199 no doubt meant to say that TrueType and PostScript generally use vector (outline) fonts, not raster (bitmap).

They are both capable of providing bitmap fonts as well, but those are less commonly used.
