According to the user guide for Adobe Type Manager for Windows:

	The ATM program is compatible with...Type 1 format font
	software, including the Adobe Type Library fonts, and Type
	1 font software package[s] from Linotype, Agfa-Compugraphic,
	Varityper, Monotype, Autologic, Bitstream, and The Font
	Company.

All well and good, except I called Bitstream today and asked for a list
or catalog of their fonts that can be used with ATM.  They told me that
their fonts can't be used with ATM.  I said "Don't you sell type 1 fonts?"
The reply was "We have scalable fonts.  They are not true Type 1 fonts."

At least I think he said "They are not true Type 1 fonts",
maybe it was "They are not TrueType 1.0 fonts"  :-)

Anyway, sounds like what we have here is a corporate failure to commun'cate.
