I believe TrueType fonts are still rendered in kernel mode. (They have a policy option for blocking untrusted fonts, because of course that parser has bugs.)

  Although the rendering may still be done in kernel mode the parsing is now done in a usermode sandbox[1] which significantly reduces risks from handling untrusted fonts.
