When I got my Deskwriter, there was an offer to get another set of fonts for
free. I believe that included Palatino (I have it at home). The thing is it
took a few weeks to get them, and by that time I had bought ATM. I'm happy
enough with ATM that I don't use HP fonts anymore, even though they were very
good. There just isn't that much variety, and now that I have fontographer, I
design my own fonts (well... I'm trying to, anyway), and these need to be in
postscript. HP has some more fonts that these two sets (created by Agfa, I
understand), but obviously not as many as exist in postscript. Thus, I must
use ATM now. (BTW, if you're into customised fonts, I highly recommend
fontographer).
