In my case, I want ATM because I want fonts to look nice on my screen
and on my Deskwriter.  I don't give a d*mn who produces it, and I
really don't care about postscript. In fact, I don't like the fact that it
only works with type 1 (adobe, more or less) fonts.

BTW, deskwriters come with 4 scalable fonts.  Purchasing 7 more costs
about the same as ATM + ATM Plus Pack.  ATM will give me good screen
fonts.
