I just finished the installation of the ATM (I checked the atm.txt file said it is 1.0 although it cam with the Times New Roman and Gill Sans fonts) that came with Pagemaker 4.0 along with the ~100 fonts from cica.cica.indiana.edu (pub/pc/win3/fonts). Boy was it a pain in the butt to modify the win.ini file to support automatic downloading of those additional fonts. Anyway, playing around with it I have encountered a rather nasty bug. After using roughly five fonts in Paintbrush, I get an Unrecoverable Application Error. After roughly the same number in Win Write and Word for Windows 1.1, the chracters for any new font that I choose no longer show up on the screen, but the cursor continues to move the proper distance apparently... My configuration is an IBM-AT with an Inboard 386/AT, 5.25 MB of memory, DOS 3.3, Speedstor partitioned ESDI drive with 24MB free. I run windows with the standard VGA driver with OSFRAME and HyperDisk 4.22E set for 1MB under Windows. The problem still occurs when I disable the cache. Oh yeah ATM setup with a 256KB font cache. Anybody have a clue? Anyone actually tried ten or so fonts on the screen at the same time using ATM? -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.
