However I have a few questions, some of which have been addressed before, but not to my satisfaction :-) ... 1) No matter what I do (aliases, synonyms, everything short of deleting all the vector fonts, which I haven't tried yet) every application I've ran list both Helv and Helvetica (sp?), and Tms Rmn and Times Roman in the fonts list. Could it be the .FON files that come with Pagemaker? 2) The fonts I've converted from Corel Draw! don't appear to have their associated screen fonts. Every fonts that wasn't included with ATM shows up on the screen as Times Roman. Am I forgetting something or is this just one of the downfalls of getting free Adobe fonts? :-) 3) The fonts included with ATM have separate files for bold, italic, and bold italic. When I convert fonts from Corel Draw, all the information is in one file for all four fonts. Is this OK? It works without problem (unless this is related to the screen font problem) so I guess it's OK. Is their any advantage to having separate files? If so, how do I get separate files when I convert from Corel Draw! Other than that, ATM is a very useful product and nicely done. Well worth the $60 I paid for it mail order. I'm sure it will shortly save me much more than $60 worth of hard disk space! :-) (I've already freed up 4 megs so far, which is wonderful since I was down to 1 MB on a 60 MB hard disk!) Email responses are OK, though you may as well post any answers to the net, since it isn't likely that I'm the ONLY one wondering about these things :-) Thanx in advance! Scot Forbes
