Clarify that Type-1 fonts get used only in the usetex/pdf combination.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

Since you're already touching this, the This in "This gets both vector text" reads as ambigous to me - I don't know what gets both, and also I don't quite understand what gets means in this context

When did that come in/what should this PR be milestoned to?

  • Type-1 subsetting: Type-1 font subsetting #20716
  • ttconv removal: Remove ttconv and implement Type-42 embedding using fontTools #20866

I suppose this should be v3.11.0?
