I have't seen any other complaints about this, so maybe I'm just doing something stupid... please enlighten me. Hypercard 2.0 somehow seems to override ATM: it complains it can't find fonts in certain sizes, and uses ugly bitmap enlargments. This really screws up spacing in some of the examples. I could install the font sizes it needs, but I don't want to bloat up my system - that's one of the reasons I bought ATM... Mike Blackwell mkb@rover.ri.cmu.edu

Consider this rumor, I haven't verified it - but I hear that ATM 2.0 fixes that problem. ========================================================================== Rick Holzgrafe | {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!rmh Software Engineer | AppleLink HOLZGRAFE1 rmh@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | "All opinions expressed are mine, and do 20525 Mariani Ave. MS: 3-PK | not necessarily represent those of my Cupertino, CA 95014 | employer, Apple Computer Inc."

System 6.0.7 [happened under 6.0.5, too]; HyperCard 2.0, ATM 2.0. I have only 10- and 12-point sizes of most LaserWriter fonts actually installed as bitmaps. Until I changed the startup script, every time I opened the Home stack I would be informed that I didn't have Palatino 14, 24 installed. The fonts on screen were rendered well by ATM, however. BTW, to stop Hypercard 2.0's font complaints, find the following line in the "on startup" script [in script of the Home stack] and comment it out. checkForMissingFonts -- inform user of missing fonts chaz -- Someone please release me from this trance. clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone
