ATM sends back scaled images based on what's available at the dpi of the graphics window you're drawing into. If you are using 10 and 12 point text, and have those sizes of bitmaps installed, ATM won't do anything. When you print to your DeskWriter and it is set up for 300 dpi at 10, 12 point, ATM will step in and generate the outline image. If all you use is 10, 12, 14, 18, or 24 point to the screen, ATM will effectively be off except when you print to a > 72dpi device. -- Brian Bezanson bezanson@adobe.com Adobe Systems Incorporated The opinions expressed above are my own and may not represent those of Adobe.
