How do I deactivate ATM when I write postscript to a file?
I have ATM installed. It works fine. I write a letter in Bookman.
I save postscript to a file with either 'f' or the checkbox. I upload
it to unix, and print it there.
My problem is before ATM, a file would be 4K. With ATM installed,
the file is 69K. This file has included a downloaded version
of Bookman-Light. It looks the same to me.
What I want is to be able to use ATM, but for laserwriter installed
fonts, I would like to use the installed fonts. I have tried turning ATM
off and rebooting. No go. Still 69K. I tried killing ATM with Aask Init.
No go. Still 69K. Should I remove all the Bookman ATM postscript files
from my System folder? Is there any way to turn the ATM on and off?
Thanks!

I've noticed that under LaserWriter 5.2 the structuring conventions are not strictly followed: you should only have to remove from %%BeginFont to %%EndFont, but you actually have to remove the "bu fc" before the %%BeginFont. So, what you have to remove is this: bu fc %%BeginFont ...tons of font stuff... %%EndFont This shouldn't be so bad, since each font is sent only once. I use MPW's editor to yank these. I'd post the replace command I use, but it's full of wierd characters. Perhaps some enterprising programmer can come up with a font stripper for PostScript files. -- Kevin A.
