Some OTF-only extended layout features from Opentype might not work, but for basic Latin languages, that shouldn't be an issue.
I'm a noob here, so most of these terms I don't quite understand. Thanks, anyway.
I tried to use MS-Yahei, a Chinese font which comes as the default font for Windows Vista and 7. It is an OpenType Font with TrueType Outlines as is described in the file. And it works like a charm.
