I think you are stuck if you are using Font Porter.  But if you use Fifth
Generation's SuitCase II instead you are in luck.  The ATM 2.0 manual says on
page 19, "Outline font software may be placed in any folder containing at least
one open font suitcase file."  I keep all my ATM (and other) fonts in a
directory hierarchy outside the System Folder.  Works great.  Less filling. :-)

Hope this helps.
