Common problem, elegant solution: Use ResEdit to change the TYPE of the Adobe
font to anything other than LWFN. The printer driver looks both at the name
_and_ the TYPE of the font. Fortunately, ATM looks only at the name. So, if you
change the TYPE to something (I use xWFN) the printer driver won't find it, but
ATM still works just fine.

Good luck,
