TrueType wasn't "chosen" as the format for Unicode fonts.
Fonts to cover one or more portions of the Unicode Standard
repertoire are available in all current font technologies.
TrueType is the preferred font technology for Windows, which
is why it gets so much coverage and discussion on the list.

ISBN 0-201-48345-9 from your local bookstore. Highly recommended!
Or, if you are online, you can order it from amazon.com, or
direct from the Unicode Consortium: www.unicode.org.
