%Yes.  ATMFNTS3.ZIP is corrupt.  Perhaps the ftp connection wasn't set
%to binary when the file was placed here.  I'll drop Christopher a line
%and see if we can't try this again.
%
%The other files, atmfnts4.zip, atmfnts5.zip, atmfnts6.zip, and
%atmfnts7.zip test OK.

%My thanks to Christopher for the uploads (and the expensive phone

The only thing wrong with ATMFNTS3.ZIP is its bad header.  Aside from
that, it's ok.  I managed to fix it using PKZIPFIX, and it uncompressed
just fine.  I'll upload the fixed version to cica after I post this.

One warning on the fonts, though:  Some of them, like Palatino, are in the
ATM Plus Pak (I think that's what it's called) also.  So if you already
have the Plus Pak, you want to be more careful about installing duplicate
fonts.  The Palatino in the Plus Pak appears to have better hinting than the
version in atmfnt?.zip.
