[comp.sys.mac.apps] Printing problem with ATM!

cht@e40-008-5.MIT.EDU (Chester Liu) (11/26/90)

Hello ATM gurus,

	I usually print files by saving it as a Postscript file (via
command-f) and then uploading the file to the local mainframe to
print.  However, ever since I started using ATM it inserts the encoded
font description into the Postscript file, not matter what font it is,
adding ~30K into the file for each font I use.

	I want to be able to supress the font description for Times,
for example, since the laser printer already has Times built in, but I
would like Garamond to be included in the Postscript file since the
printer does not have Garamond.

	Is there a way to tell ATM "include just font X in the
Postscript and not font Y"?

	Thanks for you reply!  If you have ANY suggestions please
share them with me!

There is a simple program called FONT Toggler available at Sumex that will do
exactly what you want, ie. it will change the creator name of the outline
fonts you specify to xWFN and vice versa.
