I think I am finally getting the hang of this System 7.0 versus PostScript/TrueType/Bitmap font thing, but I have one question left. My apologies if it's a stupid one. If I have ATM installed, and I have files with the Adobe icon in my System folder (files with names like 'CoopeBla' and 'Couri'), then ATM works for these fonts, i.e. I get scaled screen fonts. If I have files with the same type of name, but with an icon consisting of a laserwriter with a little "1"-sheet entering it (standing for a type 1 font I suppose), then I *also* get scaled screen fonts, rather to my surprise (and no, I have *not* installed the truetype font). If I have files with the same type of name, but without any icon, or if the icon consists of a laserwriter with an "F"-document entering it, then I still get nicely printed characters, but no longer scaled screen fonts. My question is: why is this so, and can I do something about it, i.e. is there a way to make ATM display 'normal' type 3 fonts? (And in case you're thinking of flaming me: please don't. I have access to Macintoshes with ATM installed on them, but I simply do not have access to the documentation.) All help and information much appreciated.
