	Really?  <ponder> While I don't have ATM installed on my home
machine (just got it a few days ago :) I distinctly remember working
with -huge- typefaces in MacWrite II using ATM at work (Lessee, Mac
Plus, 6.0.4. umpteen jillion inits), without the slightest hint of
trouble.

	Welp, in any case, I'll give Claris Tech Support a call in the
near future, and give info to the net (unless someone beats me to it).
