[comp.windows.ms] ATM problems w/ Excel 3 and Postscript printers

Greetings,
I recently bought ATM and have been having great fun with its
capabilities, but I've run into two problems.

1) Using Excel 3.0, I can't get it to add text to the Y (vertical)
   axis of a chart unless I use a non-ATM font.  It shows up as an
   empty box as big as the text would be.  I'm using an Epson LQ-850,
   but if I remember right it did the same thing when I told it I had
   a postscript printer.
   Btw, this problem exists on the Y axis whether I use Portrait or
   Landscape mode.


2) I can't get ATM to cooperate with the Postscript driver.  In the
   ATM manual and the text files with various Type 1 fonts, it makes
   a reference to a soft fonts section of my win.ini file.  There is
   no such section of my win.ini file; the Postscript section has
   three lines telling what kind of Postscript printer I have.  Do I
   just need to add something by hand?  Do I need a new PS driver?


Please email me answers, and I'll post the solutions when I get them
worked out (and give credit where it is due:).
