	I am having problems with ATM2.0 and 7.0b4.  I could have sworn that
upon initial installation (~ATM in control panels folder and ~ATM 020/030
file and fonts in the system folder) things worked normally.  BUT now,
when ATM (the only init) is running, most applications quit upon startup
with a message something like:

	The appliction "unknown" has unexpectedly quit with an error
	of Type 1.

These are not odd applications, mind you, as Microsoft Word 4.00D is among
them, but not the only offender (HC2.0 also).  Is there a work around for
this problem?  Is it fixed in future 7.0 versions?  Should I simply convert
my PostScript fonts to TrueType format and bag ATM altogether?  If conversion
is the best solution, what conversion program should I use?

			Thanks in advance for helping with my whiny questions,
