it requires no special "just-for-ATM" type fonts. it does however, require
only Type1 fonts. we do not support any Type3 fonts.

yes, this is one of the many benefits of ATM.

ATM has a minimum requirement of a 1mb system. you can tell ATM just how
much memory (from what you have) should be used. meaning, you can change
the font cache from 32K up to 1meg. in the control panel for ATM. the
suggested setting is about 96K but if you're planning on having a lot
of fonts, you might want to try 512K, especially for Illustrator 88. so,
to answer your question, if you're running a 4mb system in Multi-Finder,
you will have pleanty of memory left over to run other applications.

hope this helps...
