 Well I have been using ATM4W with Ami Pro for several days.  It seems to work
 fine.  I have found that the original non-hinted PS fonts created by
 SoftType, while generally supported OK by ATM, will get hosed if you do
 a word "underline" attribute: the "line" is in the text not under it.
 Rumor has it that SoftType will/does not have Type 1 hints.
