I appreciate any fonts that are made publicly available, but I do 
have questions:

	1) Some of these fonts are "duplicates" (in name at least) to 
	   others that have already been uploaded.  Are these replacements 
	   or just another persons interpretation of a "common font" and 
	   it is up to us as individuals to decide which interpretation we 
	   like best?  If that is the case, does anybody know an easy way 
	   to compare the two? ... 

	2) how does ATM deal with two fonts using the same name?  

	3) Is there a way to rename (add additional characters) the fonts 
	   as supplied so that the end user can determine the source? 

	   I use a PS printer, but now with ATM I have no idea whether the 
	   selected font is the ATM or the intrinsic version ... for example 
	   I can select "zapf chancery" or "Zapf Chancery" in w4w.

	4) I am getting rather fed-up with the slowness of ATM and so was 
	   considering (if possible) a separate win3 setup without it, but 
	   was wondering what the best way to do it is.  
	   
	   I have tried disabling ATM (through the control panel), and save 
	   some initial win3 startup time, but it appears to make no 
	   difference in the slowness of all the other processes (calling up 
	   an empty notepad has gone from virtually instantaneously w/o ATM 
	   to 17 seconds with it ... argh !)

Thanks to one and all ... I will summarize any email I receive.
