Hello, netland!

I am using Command-F (actually, I enabled the Save PS button on the
laserwriter driver) to dump PostScript so that I can include pictures
drawn on a Mac into my LaTeX file. The problem is that I use ATM, and
keep the Type 1 font outline files for Times, etc. in my System Folder
--- in this case, the bitmap of the fonts already available on the
LaserWriter gets included in the dump file; as a result, a 17kbyte PS
dump file without font bitmaps has grown to over 4Mb!

I tried turning background printing off, but that did not work.  I
tried turning off ATM in the control panel, but that did not work
either. (Besides, you have to reboot anyways, so that is quite a
hassle).  The current hack I use is to move all the font outline files
into a private folder; it is a clumsy solution, and I am looking for a
better way.

Is there any way to avoid the font bitmap dumps in a quick way?
Also, who is generating the bitmaps?
