I have been using the newest version of ATM ("twice as fast!") and just got my
hands on TrueType.  I am using both now until I can get my hands on more TT
fonts.  Here are a few of my observations:

1)  TrueType fonts look _much_ better at small point sizes than ATM ones do.
    
2) TrueType is _much_ faster than even the newest ATM.  Use your favorite word
   processor, type in some text, then change it to 33 point, then 111 point or 
   some other odd sizes.  ATM chugs for a second, but TT is almost immediate.
