I recently purchased Adobe Type Manager for Windows and was wondering about the availability of other fonts for it. My question is: "Are there any Postscript type fonts available via ftp that are compatible with Adobe Type Manager?" I know there is a set of Postscript 1 fonts at cica, but they don't seem to work with ATM since they have no tfm (font metrics) files. Any response would be appreciated. James H.

I've seen adds for ATM in some mags, and I seem to recall that they claimed that it will also make dot-matrix printed printouts nicer looking, as well as laser printouts. Is this true? Has anyone tried it? JWKIII -- Signature, part XVII... Coming soon, to a site near you... John Keating, keating@rex.cs.tulane.edu

Has anyone tried it? Yes this is true!! I printed out a sample page from Pagemaker at work on a True PostScript printer and again at home on my 180 DPI Epson dot matrix. The results were nearly Identical!!! Except for the resolution difference the two pages had the same spacing, layout fonts, and justification. I attribute this to the fact that ATM really is the PostScript printers font engine for the PC. Since PS is resolution INdependant the images were identical. Robert Nee

Warning: If you want all 35 postscript typefaces, and you have PageMaker, don't buy the Adobe Plus Pack. PageMaker already has the 22 additional font metric files you need. Don't waste money like I did. Question: How do I get this thing to print out on my dot matrix? I have both a postscript LJIII and an Epson LQ500. When I use Winword with my LQ500, the only fonts available are the standard printer fonts. The manual says NOTHING at all about this! Argggh. Roger Rouse DataBase Manager MTU Youth Programs
