Yesterday, I had to replace the external hard drive where I keep all the fonts for ATM (DeLuxe!). I
copied all the fonts to the new HD, removed the old HD, and renamed the
new HD with the same name as the old one.

But when I opened ATM, it didn't recognize the the new HD; keeps
insisting the fonts aren't installed.

I believe this happened to me once before, but I can't remember how I
fixed it.

I, of course, can reinstall all the fonts, but . . . geezus, what a
chore.

Anybody have a suggestion?

Mac G4 MDD, OS9 . . . and OSX when I feel like it.

Larry,

ATM Deluxe is not compatible with Mac OS X. ATM Light is. ATM Deluxe is a discontinued, unsupported product. Get a modern font manager, such as Font Agent Pro (I believe it also supports OS 9 (but check, please). Still not the same as the old ATM. But it has received better reviews in these forums than either Suitcase or Font Reserve.

I suspect Neil got confused there or just typed too quickly.

ATM, ANY flavor of ATM, is not compatible with OS X, not ATM Deluxe and not ATM Light either.

ATM Light works with CLASSIC emulation running under OS X to render fonts, but not in OS X itself.

Thanks, Ramon. You're absolutely right. I meant that ATM Light is compatible with OS X's Classic emulation, but ATM Deluxe is not.

Apologies for any confusion.

Neil
