I, too, have grabbed the ATMFONT?.ZIP files.  They work GREAT with ATM 1.1
on my machine with both PM 4.0 and W4W.  I've used both the fonts that came
with ATM which came with PM (including turning on the Pre-built fonts) and
the ones from CICA.  No problems.  I've printed out PM's CHARSET.PT4 document
with all the fonts I've installed so far (packages 1 - 3), and they all look
terrific.  I'm using a Panasonic KX-P4420, which emulates an HPLJ II.  I'm
also using a 512K buffer and have the Pre-built fonts turned on (as I said
above).

BTW - who's responsible for all those fonts?  Is it one person or some
collection of people?  Whoever it is, THANK YOU!  I love them, and am
now trying to figure out (1) how to pick the right font for each task and
(2) which ones I REALLY want so they'll show up in PM's Fonts menu!
