It still isn't in the same league, as TrueType on the 7.0a9 system. But, we've had ATM for a year, and Adobe's not letting the product stagnate, so expect another upgrade before System 7.0 ships. >I hear that there is a new startup init included called FontPorter. >What does it do? Font Porter is an INIT that will search the System Folder for font suitcases and open them (up to 12, I believe). It definately does not hold a candle to Suitcase, nor did Adobe intend it to. Adobe found out the hard way with ATM that most Mac users don't know how to use the Font/DA Mover. Now, with Font Porter, they can just drag their screen AND printer fonts into the System Folder and restart the Mac, and the fonts will be active (kinda like System 7.0, no?) Robert >Len
