I've heard/read that if you have Type 1 PostScript fonts, ATM can
display them properly at various point sizes on your screen. But, does
that also mean that you can get reasonable looking hardcopy on HP
DeskJets if you have only Type 1 PostScript fonts *without*
4-times-oversized bitmap versions or ATM outline font versions of a
particular font family?

In particular, I'd like to use Ecological Linguistics' Burmese font,
which is available as bitmaps in a limited range of point sizes (w/o
the necessary 4x sizes for the DeskJet), or Type 3 PostScript fonts,
which I suppose Evolution or Metamorphosis should be able to convert to
Type 1. I already have a DeskJet, Grappler LS to drive it from my Mac,
and ATM 2.0
