[comp.sys.mac.system] TrueType problems. ATM problems.

I just installed TrueType on our Mac IIci, and found two problems:

   1. TrueType seems to need to load before ATM, or it disables ATM.
   2. Courier seems screwed up. Testing it in QXP 3.0, the characters go
      crazy when styled in Courier... Sometimes the lines are way too short
      sometimes so long that trailing characters are truncated. Times, Symbol,
      and Helvetica work just fine, though.

I also just noticed a problem with ATM and the public domain font Architect.
Architect ATMs fine from 7 to 60 points, but at 72 points, I get the 12-point
bitmap scaled up to 72... does that mean ATM doesn't have enough room or that
I need to enlarge the heap (or whatever)? (This problem is independent of
TrueType.)
