1.   Disk Contents

The following files are found on your ATM disk(s):

ATM16.DLL            Program file for Windows Standard mode
ATM32.DLL            Program file for Windows 386 Enhanced mode
ATMSYS.DRV           ATM System driver
ATMCNTRL.EXE         ATM Control Panel
INSTALL.EXE          ATM Installer
INSTALL.CNF          ATM installation configuration file
PROGDISK (FONTDISK)  Disk ID file
README.TXT           This README file
ATM.CNF              Configuration file (might not be present on 
                     upgrade disks)
FONTINST.TXT         Font installation instructions for Adobe 
                     Font Foundry, LaserTools PrimeType, and 
                     the IBM OS/2 Windows Compatibility Box 
                     (present on special ATM upgrade disk)                     

Your disk(s) might also contain a PSFONTS directory and a 
PCLFONTS directory.  The PSFONTS directory contains PostScript 
Font Outline (PFB) files and Printer Font Metrics (PFM) files.  
The PCLFONTS directory contains PCL bitmapped font files, which 
have filename extensions of either SFP or SFL.  The PCLFONTS 
directory also contains Printer Font Metrics (PFM) files.


2.   Installation Requirements

To install ATM, you need a c:\ drive and sufficient disk space 
for the ATM software and fonts.  The amount of disk space you 
need depends on the number of fonts included with your ATM 
package.  The standard retail ATM package requires about 1.2 
megabytes of free disk space.  The default directory for the 
PostScript fonts is c:\psfonts.  You can, however, install the 
font files in any directory on any drive.


3.   What's New in Version 2.5

Version 2.5 of ATM introduces three new features:

* ATM now uses soft fonts that are created on-the-fly by certain 
  Windows 3.1 printer drivers; this feature speeds printing for 
  PCL printers and other printers with drivers that support soft 
  font creation
* ATM now adds and removes fonts without requiring that you 
  restart Windows
* When you install fonts, ATM lets you specify whether or not 
  the fonts are automatically downloaded to PostScript printers 
  when you print

The following paragraphs briefly describe these new features.

*   When running with Windows 3.1, ATM 2.5 prints soft fonts for 
    printers whose drivers support on-the-fly soft font 
    creation.  These printers include the HP LaserJet family of 
    printers and IBM Lexmark printers.  This feature does not 
    work with all printers that support downloaded printer soft 
    fonts.  The printer's Windows 3.1 printer driver must also 
    support on-the-fly soft font creation for this feature to 
    work.  To determine whether a Windows 3.1 printer driver 
    supports on-the-fly soft font creation, check the Printer 
    Setup Options dialog box in the Windows Printer Control 
    Panel.  If you do not see a "Print TrueType as Graphics" 
    option, the driver most likely cannot create printer soft 
    fonts on-the-fly.

*   ATM 2.5 now adds and removes fonts without requiring that 
    you restart Windows.  When you use ATM to add and remove 
    fonts while other applications are running, however, the ATM 
    font changes are not always automatically available in the 
    application font menus.  Some applications, such as Windows 
    Write and Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows, update their available 
    font lists immediately, while others, such as Lotus AmiPro 
    3.0 and Aldus PageMaker 4.0, require that you re-select your 
    printer before the ATM font changes appear in font menus.  A 
    few applications, such as Adobe Illustrator 4.0 and 
    QuattroPro for Windows 1.0, build their font menus when they 
    are started.  You must restart these applications to see ATM 
    font changes in their font menus.

*   When you add or remove fonts, the ATM 2.5 Control Panel 
    automatically adds and removes soft font entries from the 
    [PostScript, portname] sections in WIN.INI.  (The 
    [PostScript, portname] sections contain settings for 
    PostScript printers.)  If you change printer ports, however, 
    Windows creates a new [PostScript, portname] section and 
    does not transfer font entries from other sections.  You 
    must reinstall your fonts to add soft font entries to the 
    new [PostScript, portname] section. See "Install As 
    Autodownload Fonts for the PostScript Driver" later in this 
    README files for details.


A number of additional changes have been made in version 2.5:

*   ATM defers to resident and cartridge DeskJet fonts when you 
    use the Windows 3.1 DeskJet driver that works with the 
    Universal Printer driver.
*   ATM no longer disables application printing when you use the 
    Windows 3.1 Generic Text driver (TTY.DRV). This driver 
    supports only a single internal font.
*   Rotated text in graphics now displays correctly in Lotus 
    1-2-3 for Windows.
*   ATM text in Lotus Freelance now prints correctly when any 
    Windows 3.1 PCL printer driver is set up to print at lower 
    print resolutions.
*   ATM now prints correctly to PCL printers when used with 
    Aldus IntelliDraw.
*   The ATM 2.5 Installer installs ATM correctly when MoreFonts 
    is present on the system.


4.   ATM.INI

ATM's initialization file, ATM.INI, is created during 
installation.  It contains a list of fonts installed in ATM and 
other ATM program-related settings.  See Appendix A at the end 
of this README file for more technical information.


5.   ATM Control Panel

There is no longer a pre-defined limit to the number of fonts 
you can install with the ATM Control Panel.  Windows does, 
however, limit initialization files (including the ATM.INI and 
the WIN.INI) to a size of 64K.  If this limit is reached, 
Windows cannot open, read, or write properly to these INI files.

For Windows 3.0 and 3.0a, Microsoft recommends keeping 
initialization files smaller than 32k in size.  Following this 
recommendation, the maximum number of fonts that can be listed 
in ATM.INI for Windows 3.0 or 3.0a is around 450 fonts.  For 
Windows 3.1, the only limit is the 64K maximum file size, which 
is large enough for about 900 fonts.

Many applications limit the number of fonts that can be 
displayed in their font menus.  For example, an application font 
menu might show only 200 fonts even though you have installed 
more than 200 ATM fonts.

The more fonts you add with ATM, the longer it takes Windows to 
start.  The exact time required for Windows to start depends on 
the type of processor you have and your system configuration.  
To reduce the time it takes Windows to start, make more memory 
available to Windows by, for example, removing Terminate and 
Stay Resident (TSR) programs.  You can also reduce the time it 
takes Windows to start by removing ATM fonts you use 
infrequently.


6.   PostScript Soft Font Limits for Windows 3.0 and 3.0a

For Windows 3.1, there is no longer a 150 font limit on the 
number of soft-font entries you can have for a PostScript 
printer.  For Windows 3.0 and 3.0a, however, the maximum number 
of soft-font entries per PostScript printer WIN.INI entry is 
approximately 150.  The exact number depends on your particular 
system configuration.  If you receive spurious printer-related 
error messages when starting Windows or switching to a 
PostScript printer, you might have too many soft font entries in 
the printer's WIN.INI entry.  To correct the problem, try using 
the ATM Control Panel to remove soft fonts you don't normally 
use.

If you manually remove soft-font entries from the PostScript 
printer section of the WIN.INI file, remember to adjust the line 
"softfonts=nn" to show the new total number of soft-font 
entries.  The ATM Control Panel automatically renumbers soft-
font entries in WIN.INI when you remove fonts.  ATM cannot, 
however, correct misnumbered font entries.

The Microsoft Windows 3.1 PostScript driver lets you use a 
synthesized italic style for a PostScript font even if the 
outline font (PFB) file for the italic font is not present on 
this system.  Windows, however, cannot provide the PostScript 
driver with the correct font metrics for a synthesized italic 
face, so the font is displayed with expanded character spacing.  
Also, PostScript printers print the Roman (non-italic) face for 
the synthesized italic face when you print.


7.   Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts

When you select the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option, ATM 
lets PCL printer drivers use pre-built or printer-resident fonts 
to print documents. When you clear the Use Pre-built or Resident 
Fonts check box, ATM creates characters for PCL printer drivers 
to print even when pre-built or printer-resident fonts are 
available.

Although ATM does not require that you restart Windows after you 
change the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option, you might 
have to quit and restart applications for this option to take 
effect.

If you are using Windows 3.1 with printer drivers that allow 
soft fonts to be created on-the-fly (such as the PCL drivers), 
you might want to turn this option off to speed printing.  It is 
more efficient for a printer driver to create a soft font on-
the-fly than to download a pre-built font.  You can see if you 
have any pre-built fonts installed for your PCL printer by 
checking the printer driver's Fonts dialog box. To display the 
driver's Fonts dialog box, choose Fonts in the driver's Printer 
Setup dialog box.

When Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option is selected, you 
might find the characters of a printer-resident or soft font 
that you place beneath a graphic image print on top of the 
image.  To see an example of this problem, open an application 
that lets you draw images over text, select the Courier font, 
type some text, and draw a gray box on top of the text.  The 
font is covered by the gray box on the screen.  Now print with 
the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option selected to see if 
your printer prints the text on top of the gray box.  If the 
text prints on top of the box, you will also have this problem 
when you turn ATM off.  To correct this problem, clear the Use 
Pre-built or Resident Fonts check box.

If you are using a printer driver that creates soft fonts on-
the-fly (such as the PCL printer drivers), you might have to 
select the "Print ATM fonts as graphics" option for graphic 
objects and text to print correctly.


8.   Print ATM Fonts as Graphics

For Windows 3.1 and later, ATM takes advantage of a new feature 
available with some printer drivers that lets ATM use the driver 
to create soft fonts on-the-fly.  Creating soft fonts on-the-fly 
speeds printing.  Printer drivers that create soft fonts on-the-
fly include the drivers for the HP LaserJet family of printers 
and the driver for the IBM Lexmark printers.

The Print ATM Fonts as Graphics option controls whether or not 
ATM uses the soft font creation feature when it is available.  
By default, the Print ATM Fonts as Graphics option is cleared 
and ATM uses the soft font creation feature.  When you select 
the Print ATM Fonts as Graphics option, however, ATM prints 
characters as graphics. Selecting the Print ATM Fonts as 
Graphics option can solve some printing problems, such as when 
the text you place beneath a graphic image prints on top of the 
graphic.

When you change the Print ATM Fonts as Graphics option while 
other applications are running, the change usually takes effect 
immediately.  In a few applications, such as Word for Windows 
2.0 for example, you must re-select your printer before the ATM 
print mode change takes effect.

If you set up your printer driver to print TrueType fonts as 
graphics, ATM prints fonts as graphics regardless of how the 
Print ATM Fonts as Graphics option is set.

Some applications, such as CorelDraw 3.0, always print text as 
graphics.


9.   Install As Autodownload Fonts for the PostScript Driver

The Microsoft PostScript printer driver uses the [PostScript, 
portname] section in the WIN.INI file to find the PostScript 
soft fonts installed on the system.  As an example, the 
following [PostScript, portname] section shows two soft fonts 
installed for a PostScript printer connected to the parallel 
port LPT1.

[PostScript, LPT1]
softfonts=2
softfont1=c:\psfonts\pfm\tkrg______.pfm;c:\psfonts\tkrg____.pfb
softfont2=c:\psfonts\pfm\tkb_______.pfm;c:\psfonts\tkb_____.pfb

Each of these soft font entries is made up of two parts:

* The first part is the path and file name of the soft font's 
  printer font metrics (PFM) file

* The second part is the path and file name of the soft font's 
  outline (PFB) file

The PFM file part is necessary for all PostScript fonts whose 
character metrics are not hard-coded in the PostScript driver.  
The PFB file part is needed only when you want the driver to 
download the font outline with every print job.

To set up the Microsoft PostScript driver to automatically 
download a font at print time, install the font with the 
"Install as autodownload fonts for the PostScript driver" option 
selected.  When this option is selected, ATM adds both the PFM 
and PFB parts of the soft font entry.

You must also select the "Install as autodownload fonts for the 
PostScript driver" option if you are installing the standard 
Base35 fonts for a printer that does not contain them.  The 
Base35 fonts (available with the Adobe PlusPack and the 
PostScript Type Cartridge) are: AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, 
Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, NewCenturySchoolbook, Palatino, 
Symbol, Times, ZapfChancery, and ZapfDingbats.  Most, but not 
all, newer PostScript printers contain the Base35 fonts.

If you are adding fonts to ATM that are already resident in the 
printer, you can uncheck this option to instruct the printer 
driver not to send the font outline files to the printer at 
print time.  With the "Install as autodownload fonts for the 
PostScript driver" option unchecked, ATM adds only the PFM part 
of the soft-font entries in WIN.INI. You should also uncheck 
this option for fonts you plan to manually download to the 
printer.

How ATM 2.5 Adds Base35 Fonts

When the "Install as autodownload fonts for the PostScript 
driver" option is unchecked, ATM does not add soft font entries 
to WIN.INI for the Base35 soft fonts.  The soft font entries for 
these fonts are not needed because the font metrics for these 
fonts are hard-coded in the driver.  If soft font entries for 
the Base35 fonts are present in WIN.INI, however, they are 
ignored by the PostScript driver at print time if the Base35 
fonts are resident in the printer.  In other words, the 
PostScript driver does not download the outlines of these fonts 
if they are already present on the printer.  The only exception 
to this rule is for the Bookman font.  If a Bookman PFB entry is 
present in the WIN.INI, the driver downloads the outline file at 
print time.  To correct this problem and to force the driver to 
use the Bookman font resident in the printer, re-add the four 
faces of Bookman with the "Install as autodownload fonts for the 
PostScript driver" option unchecked


10.  ATM and Printing

ATM uses PostScript outline fonts to produce a smooth graphic 
display of your fonts on-screen.  The fonts available for use 
depend on the printer you have selected in your application.

The fonts available for non-PostScript printers are the printer-
resident fonts, the Windows internal bitmapped fonts, the 
TrueType fonts installed on the system (for Windows 3.1), and 
the PostScript fonts listed in the ATM Control Panel. 

For PostScript printers, the fonts available are the printer-
resident fonts, the TrueType fonts installed on the system (for 
Windows 3.1), and the PostScript soft-font entries listed in the 
printer's [PostScript, portname] section in the WIN.INI file.  
When you print to a PostScript printer, ATM does not have to be 
active because it does not have to rasterize any fonts.  Windows 
and the PostScript driver download outline fonts to your 
PostScript printer.

Print Resolution

For the highest print quality, Adobe recommends you set up your 
printer to print at the highest resolution available.  Certain 
PCL printer drivers do not properly set the print resolution.  
They might appear to be set at 300 dpi resolution in the Windows 
Printer Control Panel even though they are set to a lower 
resolution.  Some applications fail to print correctly when your 
PCL printer resolution is not set to 300 dpi.  Excel 3.0a, for 
example, prints blank cells instead of ATM fonts when printing 
ATM fonts as graphics and your PCL printer is not set to 300 
dpi.  If you suspect your PCL printer driver is not set to 300 
dpi, set the resolution to 75 dpi, save this option, and then 
set the resolution back to 300 dpi.  When your printer 
resolution is set to 300 dpi, the line "prtresfac=0" appears in 
the PCL printer entry in the WIN.INI file.

Colored Text

ATM generates a graphic image of colored text regardless of the 
ATM print mode (soft font or graphics) set with the Print ATM 
Fonts as Graphics option.  To force ATM to generate black or 
white soft fonts for monochrome printers and color soft fonts 
for printers such as the HP PaintJet 300xl, add the following 
[Colors] section to your ATM.INI file.

[Colors]
PrintColorGraphics=Off

See Appendix A for a description of this setting.  Be very 
careful when you change ATM.INI. If you make a mistake, you can 
make it impossible for ATM to start.


11.  Printer and Video Drivers

For the highest font rasterization quality, Adobe recommends you 
use the latest Windows printer and video drivers.  If you are 
using the Microsoft Windows 3.1 DeskJet driver version 1.2, make 
sure to use the Universal Printer driver dated 06/29/92. 


12.  Installing Fonts from the Adobe PlusPack and Adobe
     PostScript and Type Cartridges

Installing fonts from the Adobe PlusPack or for the Adobe 
PostScript or Adobe Type Cartridge requires that you insert the 
different font disks many times.  To avoid having to repeatedly 
insert font disks, follow these steps:

  1. Create a temporary directory on your hard disk.

  2. Copy all the files from all the font disks to the temporary 
     directory.

  3. Start the ATM Control Panel and choose Add. The Add ATM 
     Fonts dialog box appears.

  4. Using the Directories list box, open the temporary 
     directory.  The names of all the fonts appear in the 
     Available Fonts list.

  5. Select the fonts you want to add and either accept the 
     default target directories or enter the names of the 
     PostScript font directories you are using.

  6. Choose Add.  The fonts are added and you are returned to 
     the ATM Control Panel.

  7. Choose OK to close the ATM Control Panel.

  8. Delete all the files in the temporary directory; then 
     delete the temporary directory.


13.  Installing ATM in the IBM OS/2 Windows Compatibility Box

Before installing ATM version 2.5 over an existing version of 
ATM in the IBM OS/2 Windows Compatibility box, you must first 
edit the Boot section of your Windows SYSTEM.INI file.  Replace 
the two lines 

  SYSTEM.DRV=ATMSYS.DRV
  ATM.SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV

with this line

  SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV

After changing the SYSTEM.INI file, start Windows and install 
ATM as instructed in the manual.  Be very careful changing the 
SYSTEM.INI file.  If you make a make a mistake, you can make it 
impossible for Windows to start.


14.  Application Notes

When you add or remove a font while an application is active, 
the application font menus are not always updated automatically. 
If you add or remove a font while one of the following 
applications is active,

  AmiPro 3.0, Freehand 3.0, Freelance 1.0, PageMaker 4.0, 
  Ventura Publisher for Windows, and WordPerfect 5.1.for 
  Windows 

you must re-select your printer to update the application's font 
menu.

Adobe Illustrator 4.0 

If you have Illustrator 4.0 and add or remove a font, you must 
restart Windows for font changes to take effect in Illustrator.

If you are using the latest version of the Adobe Enumerator, you 
need only restart Illustrator to see ATM font changes.  Make 
sure Illustrator is closed, however, before using ATM to add or 
remove fonts.

The two enumerator files PSENUM.DLL and RUN_ENUM.EXE, which 
Illustrator uses to register ATM font changes, are located in 
the Windows system directory.  If your enumerator files are 
dated 7/17/92 or earlier, you need to obtain the most recent 
versions of these files.  You can receive the updates to these 
files free of charge by contacting Adobe Customer Support at 
(415) 961-4992.  You can also download these files from the 
Adobe CompuServe forum.

If you are using Enumerator files dated 7/17/92 or earlier, you 
have to restart Windows for ATM font changes to take effect.


CorelDraw!

CorelDraw! 3.0 now supports ATM fonts.  Adobe strongly 
recommends that you obtain the maintenance release version 3.0b.  
You must restart CorelDraw! for ATM font changes to take effect.  
CorelDraw! version 2.0 does not support ATM fonts.  


Designer 3.1 and Charisma 2.1

The lines used for underlines and strikeouts may appear broken 
when using an ATM font.  This is due the way these Micrografx 
products handle character placement.

If you rotate text at a 90 degree angle and then stretch it, you 
might find that the font will not be properly resized.  To avoid 
this problem, first resize the font and then rotate it.

Rotating stretched text at a 180 degree angle might cause the 
last letters in the text string to overlap.  To correct this 
problem, first rotate the text by 180 degrees and then stretch 
it.

Rotated text at certain angles will sometimes print with 
expanded character spacing on non-PostScript printers.  To 
correct this problem, try using the Print View option and 
selecting the entire page.


FaceLift for Windows

FaceLift for Windows modifies the printer entries in the 
WIN.INI.  If FaceLift is installed, the ATM Installer and 
Control Panel do not recognize the installed PostScript printers 
and cannot add PostScript soft-font entries for these printers.  
Before adding fonts for PostScript printers, you must first 
temporarily disable the "Print with FaceLift" option in FaceLift 
Control Panel.  After the fonts have been installed, you can re-
enable "Print with FaceLift" option.


Harvard Draw 1.01

Harvard Draw 1.01 support ATM fonts.  You must restart the 
application for ATM font changes to take effect.


Harvard Graphics 1.01 for Windows

Harvard Graphics cannot rotate ATM fonts.  Harvard Graphics uses 
its own internal scalable fonts for all rotated text. 

If you are using Harvard Graphics and ATM with a high-resolution 
video driver, you must obtain the maintenance upgrade version 
1.021 or higher.

If you make ATM font changes while Harvard Draw is running, you 
must select another printer driver and switch back to the 
original driver for the ATM font changes to take effect.


Micrografx PostScript Driver

The Micrografx PostScript driver has a non-standard printer 
section structure in the WIN.INI.  PostScript soft fonts cannot 
be installed to this driver using the ATM Installer and Control 
Panel.  You can, however, install your fonts through the 
Micrografx Printer Setup menu.  See your Micrografx manual for 
instructions.


Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0

Due to the different structure of Norton Desktop's application 
groups, the ATM icon might not be properly installed into the 
Main group when you are running Norton as your desktop shell.  
If this occurs, you must manually add the ATM Control Panel 
icon.  The ATM Installer will, however, copy all of the 
necessary files to your system and will configure Windows to run 
ATM.  See the Norton Desktop manual for instructions on how to 
install a new icon in a group.


Quattro Pro for Windows 1.0

You must restart this application for ATM font changes to take 
effect.


PageMaker 4.0

For best results with ATM, set the "Vector text above" and 
"Stretch text above" limits in the Preferences dialog box to 
10000 pixels each.

If you make ATM font changes while PageMaker is running, you 
must re-select your printer for the ATM font changes to take 
effect.


TypeAlign 2.0

If you receive the error message "Application requested abnormal 
termination" after installing TypeAlign under Windows 3.1, you 
must manually remove the entry TALGNDLL.EXE from the load line 
of the WIN.INI file.  TALGNDLL.EXE is not compatible with 
Windows 3.1.  The Load= line in the WIN.INI file is in the 
[windows] section. Be very careful when you change WIN.INI. If 
you make a mistake, Windows will not work correctly.  TypeAlign 
2.1 corrects this problem.


Ventura Publisher Windows Edition 

Adobe recommends using version 4.1.  For upgrade information, 
please contact Ventura at (800) 822-8221.

The fonts Helvetica and Times do not display correctly in 
Reduced View.

If you make ATM font changes while Ventura Publisher is running, 
you must re-select your printer for the ATM font changes to take 
effect.


Word for Windows 2.0a

Double underlines may print as one thick underline at point 
sizes larger than 18 points.  This is due to the method Word for 
Windows uses to perform double underlining.

Smart quotes (characters Alt+0147 and Alt+0148) might print as 
double single quotes with some printer drivers.  The generic 
bullet character (Alt+0149) might print as a lowercase o.


Various Applications with Draft Mode Printing Feature

Some applications which support draft mode printing do not print 
graphics when they print in draft mode.  When ATM is set up to 
print ATM fonts as graphics, text might not print correctly in 
draft mode. To correct this problem, clear the Print ATM Fonts 
as Graphics option in the ATM Control Panel.


Various Font Management Utilities

Some font management utilities such as FontMinder 1.0 and the 
font conversion utility AllType automatically update the ATM.INI 
file.  You must restart Windows for font changes in the ATM.INI 
file introduced by these utilities to take effect.


Virus Protection Software

Some virus protection software packages do not allow the ATM 
Installer to replace previous versions of ATM software.  If you 
have this problem, first scan your hard drive for viruses.  Then 
temporarily disable your virus protection software while you 
install ATM.  Remember to re-enable your virus protection 
software and re-scan your hard disk after installing ATM.


WordPerfect for Windows 5.1

ATM requires the standard Windows printer drivers in order to 
print ATM text.  You cannot print ATM fonts with the WordPerfect 
printer drivers, unless you also use a third-party type utility 
such as PrimeType from LaserTools. 

WordPerfect for Windows uses its own screen fonts for preview, 
so ATM is not active in WordPerfect preview mode

Some special characters in the ANSI character set (with values 
higher than 128) do not print as displayed.  See your Windows 
documentation for the ANSI character set.


15.  Novell Netware Considerations

Although ATM is not a network application, you can print to 
network printers using ATM.  However, you must configure the 
File Contents section in your print job definition to specify 
Byte stream instead of Text.  The Byte stream option is required 
because ATM sends raster graphics to non-PostScript printers.

To add fonts from a network drive, you must first load a 
SHELL.CFG file containing the line "show dots = on".  Use 
IPX.COM to load the SHELL.CFG file.

There is also a 34-character limit for the PostScript target 
directories for the PFB and PFM files.  If your target directory 
name exceeds this limit, use the MAP ROOT command (instead of 
the usual map command) to map the directory to a simulated root 
directory.


16.  ATM and IBM 4029 Series Printers

To use ATM with one of the IBM 4029 series printers, you must 
install version 3.01 or later of the 4029 printer driver and 
version 1.65 or later of the Generic printer driver.  These 
versions are included with Windows 3.1.  If you are using 
Windows 3.0, contact your printer dealer or manufacturer for the 
latest drivers.


17.   Troubleshooting

Justified Text Exceeds Right Margin On Screen

Justified text sometimes extends beyond the right margin on 
screen, but prints correctly.  This happens particularly at 
small point sizes.  Two situations can cause this problem:

*  Windows uses a screen font for a font of a different size.  
   Turning off the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option in the
   ATM Control Panel corrects this problem.
*  The problem is caused by round-off errors occurring when an 
   application calculates the total width of a line of text. 
   This problem cannot be corrected.


Documents Containing the Arial MT and TimesNewRomanPS Fonts 
Print Slowly

If, after upgrading to Windows 3.1, you find that documents 
containing the fonts Arial MT and TimesNewRomanPS print more 
slowly on a PostScript printer, you can take the following steps 
to improve printing speed.  These fonts are often used as 
substitutes for the font Helvetica and Times when included when 
ATM is bundled with another product.

To make documents containing Arial MT and TimesNewRomanPS print 
faster, add the following lines to both the [Aliases] section 
and [Synonyms] section of your ATM.INI file.

   Helvetica=Arial MT
   Times=TimesNewRomanPS

The following two lines

   Helv=Arial MT
   Tms Rmn=TimesNewRomanPS

should already be present in both ATM.INI sections.


Helvetica and Times display upside-down.

If the fonts Helvetica and Times display upside-down, check the 
ATM Control Panel to see if all of these fonts are installed:

* Helvetica
* Times
* Arial MT 
* TimesNewRomanPS.

If you have all these fonts, you must manually edit the ATM.INI 
file and replace the following four lines in the [Aliases] and 
[Synonyms] sections

   Helv=Arial MT
   Helvetica=Arial MT
   Tms Rmn=TimesNewRomanPS
   Times=TimesNewRomanPS

with these two lines

   Helv=Helvetica
   Tms Rmn=Times.

Appendix A. ATM.INI Parameters

The following section contains technical information on ATM 
version 2.5's initialization file.  This file is divided up into 
six sections: Fonts, Setup, Settings, Mono, Aliases, and 
Synonyms.

[Fonts]   This section contains a list of all of the fonts 
          installed with ATM and the locations of the PostScript
          PFM and PFB files for each font.  The fonts listed 
          here are available to all non-PostScript printers for 
          screen display and printing.  The fonts available to 
          PostScript printers are based on the PostScript 
          soft-font entries in the specific printer section of 
          the WIN.INI file and the ROM-based fonts in the 
          printer.  If a font is listed in both WIN.INI and 
          ATM.INI, ATM will rasterize the font to the screen.  
          The printing of fonts to PostScript devices is solely 
          the responsibility of the PostScript driver and 
          Windows.  ATM does not have to be active when printing 
          to PostScript devices.

          Although a particular application will allow you to 
          bold or italicize a certain font, your PostScript 
          printer will not be able to render the bold or italic 
          font unless an outline for the bold or italic font is 
          available.  On non-PostScript printers, however, ATM 
          will synthesize a bold, italic or bold italic version 
          of a font based on the roman outline if the outline of 
          the desired font style is not present.

          When the ATM 2.5 Installer creates the [Fonts] section 
          of the ATM.INI, it adds all the PostScript fonts found 
          in the installation disk as well as any PostScript 
          fonts listed as soft-font entries for PostScript 
          printers in the WIN.INI file.  If you are upgrading 
          from a previous version of ATM, the Installer also 
          adds all the fonts listed in the current ATM.INI file.


[Setup]
PFM_Dir   Default PFM directory for the ATM Control Panel when 
          adding PostScript fonts.  
PFB_Dir   Default PFB directory for the ATM Control Panel when 
          adding PostScript fonts.


[Settings]
FontCache=96        Specifies the size of the font cache in 
                    kilobytes.  This option is configurable 
                    through the ATM Control Panel.  The default 
                    is 96k.  Adobe recommends that this value 
                    not be set to more than 64k for each 
                    megabyte of physical memory.  
ATM=On              Determines whether or not ATM is loaded 
                    at Windows startup time.
BitmapFonts=On      This switch is set with the Use Pre-Built or 
                    Resident Fonts check box in the ATM Control 
                    Panel.  When this switch is on, ATM defers 
                    to screen fonts, resident printer fonts, and 
                    printer soft fonts rather than rasterizing 
                    the font itself if the bitmap of the font 
                    requested in available.  If you change this 
                    switch, you do not have to restart Windows 
                    for the change to take effect.  You might, 
                    however, have to restart applications for 
                    the setting to take effect. The default 
                    setting is On.
SynonymPSBegin=9    This value specifies the point size at which 
                    ATM starts using bitmap deferral for font
                    pairs listed in both the Aliases and 
                    Synonyms sections.  The default is 9.  Adobe 
                    recommends that you do not change this 
                    setting.
QLCDir              Indicates the path of the ATM QuickLoad 
                    file, ATMFONTS.QLC.
                    
                    ATMFONTS.QLC contains a list of installed 
                    fonts and font metrics, which reduces 
                    Windows startup time.  You can force ATM to 
                    rebuild this file by deleting the file with 
                    the MS-DOS DEL command and restarting 
                    Windows.
Version=2.5         This value enables the ATM Installer to
                    determine the version of ATM when ATM is not 
                    active; otherwise, the Installer determines
                    the version of ATM from the ATM DLL.
DownloadFonts=On    This switch instructs ATM to print text as 
                    soft fonts for Windows 3.1 printer drivers
                    that support this feature.


[Mono]
Courier=Yes         This section contains a list of monospaced
LetterGothic=Yes    fonts.
PrestigeElite=Yes
Orator=Yes


[Aliases]   This section tells ATM to substitute the font on the 
            right of the equal sign for the font on the left of
            the equal sign when an application requests the font
            on the left of the equal sign.  The ATM Installer
            defines aliases for the fonts Helv, Tms Rmn, 
            Courier, Roman, and Modern.

            When the Use Pre-built or Resident Fonts option is
            turned on, ATM uses the resident bitmapped fonts for
            point sizes for which bitmaps exist. When The Use
            Pre-built or Resident option is turned off, ATM uses
            the PostScript outline font to rasterize all 
            sizes of the aliased bitmapped font.

Helv=Helvetica             The fonts left of the equals sign are
Tms Rmn=Times              Windows bitmapped fonts.  By using
Courier=Courier            PostScript outline fonts, ATM can
                           rasterize a smooth font when these
                           fonts are requested at sizes not
                           available in bitmapped form.


Roman=Times                These settings enable ATM to use
Modern=Helvetica           PostScript outlines instead of the
                           standard Windows vector fonts.


Courier=Courier            This setting is needed if an 
                           application requests the smallest
                           available fixed-pitch font.  If this
                           line is not present, ATM provides 
                           someapplications with a 1-point 
                           Courier font.


Helv=Arial MT              If you have received ATM bundled with
Helvetica=Arial MT         another application, you might have 
Tms Rmn=TimesNewRomanPS    the fonts Arial MT and 
                           TimesNewRomanPS Times=TimesNewRomanPS 
                           instead the standard fonts Helvetica 
                           and Times. You should have these 
                           lines present in both the Aliases and 
                           Synonyms sections.  These settings 
                           tell ATM to use internal printer 
                           fonts when printing Arial MT and 
                           TimesNewRomanPS to a PostScript 
                           printer.  This reduces the time 
                           required to print documents and 
                           improves the quality of bold and 
                           italic text styles.

                           If you have all four faces 
                           (Helvetica, Times, Arial MT and 
                           TimesNewRomanPS), you should use the 
                           font pairs Helv=Helvetica and Tms 
                           Rmn=Times in these sections.


[Synonyms]


Helv=Helvetica             Unlike the font pairs in the Aliases
Tms Rmn=Times              section, the font pairs in the 
Courier=Courier            Synonyms are interchangeable.  This 
                           means thatwhen the font Helv is 
                           requested at apoint size not 
                           available in bitmapped form, the font 
                           Helvetica will be used.
                           
                           In Windows 3.0 & 3.0a, when the font
                           Helvetica is requested and a 
                           bitmapped Helv font of the exact size 
                           is available, ATM will use the Helv  
                           bitmap to display the font on the 
                           screen.  

                           In Windows 3.1, the screen fonts Helv
                           and Tms Rmn have been replaced by MS
                           Sans Serif and MS Serif, so screen
                           ATM.INI to override internal ATM 
                           defaults.  The switch is global for
                           all applications.  While enabling 
                           this switch might be useful for a 
                           special purpose in a particular 
                           application, it can also produce 
                           unexpected results in other 
                           applications.

PrintColorGraphics=Off     This switch instructs ATM to print 
                           colored text as soft fonts under
                           Windows 3.1 rather than as dithered 
                           graphics.  The printer driver must
                           support soft font creation for this
                           switch to work.  For most printer
                           drivers, the resulting soft fonts 
                           print as black or white fonts.
