re adobe type manager what good is it menchett dws unr edu peter j menchetti writes the subject says it all i bought adobe type manager and find it completely useless i ftped some atm fonts and couldn t install them what s the use are you supposed to be able to convert atm fonts to truetype if there s anyone out there who has this program and actually finds it useful enlighten me pete there are some tricks to installing atm to windows install them first to dos then run the atm control panel to get them into windows the best reason for atm is that adobe is the standard truetype is a failed ms venture to undercut adobe when adobe was being nasty about keeping their formats proprietary just about any service bureau or print shop will smirk and send you on your way if you bring a truetype document to them for high resolution printing or ripping although there are lots of pretty tt fonts floating around they are really for dot matrix or your own lazer printer however you can convert your tt fonts with fontmonger or some similar program to atm fonts for high end stuff if you are using dot matrix for all your printing you may have wasted your money dave
