draw, initially, faster than their corresponding TrueType fonts. Even on 
machines like the Mac Plus this should only be a short-lived problem.
	You should not run into this problem if you do not use a program like 
Suitecase II or MasterJuggler. If you are running under System 7.0, you will 
not encounter this problem either.
Q:	I am using Adobe Type Manager. Can I use TrueType fonts too?
A:	Yes you can. ATM and TrueType solve essentially the same problem. They 
just use different fonts and rendering engines to reach the same goal. You 
can freely mix ATM and TrueType fonts without any problem. You can even have 
the same version of a font in TrueType and ATM. That is, you can have both an 
ATM version and TrueType version of Helvetica on the same System. In such a 
case, the TrueType font will take precedence over the ATM one.
Q:	My Mac is connected to a postscript printer. Can I use TrueType? Which 
fonts will the printer use?
A:	You can use TrueType to get good quality fonts on your screen. The printer 
will use its own Postscript fonts when printing, even if TrueType versions of 
those fonts exist.
Q: I am using a DeskWriter printer and like the fonts that HP has given me 
more than the TrueType ones. But I like TrueType enough to want to use it on 
screen. Which fonts will the printer use.
A:	As with Postscript based printers the printerUs font will take precedence 
over the TrueType equivalents. The HP font will be used when printing. This 
holds true for other printers like the DeskWriter, including GCCUs Personal 
Laser Printers, that use their own outline font technology.
