Aside from that, it's ok. I managed to fix it using PKZIPFIX, and it uncompressed just fine. I'll upload the fixed version to cica after I post this. One warning on the fonts, though: Some of them, like Palatino, are in the ATM Plus Pak (I think that's what it's called) also. So if you already have the Plus Pak, you want to be more careful about installing duplicate fonts. The Palatino in the Plus Pak appears to have better hinting than the version in atmfnt?.zip.
