Hi and thanks for the quick responses,
I am only using ATM Deluxe 4.1
You both say that I should go with the XP OS and its support of Type 1 and that ATM has no purpose now.
My first use of this ControlPanel>Fonts>install font method saw this method try to turn the font into true type, with that warning of font creator does not wish for such. Now this PC is new, it has had XPhome SP2 followed by Freehand then Photoshop, thats it.
This alternate method to using ATM to install Type 1 thus was a dead end for me.

I can't see how I can use that route if having used it, it wanted to convert to True type. Does it do this normally, and also install the type 1 fonts. What will my various progs make of fonts if they are TT and not Type 1. I read in the ATM readme that installing ATM Deluxe after Type 1 fonts have been installed via Control Panel method would see ATM locate and find the Type 1 files assoc with the TT fonts that were made. Sounds like windows creates TT and keeps Type 1 also on the system.

If it also installs Type 1 along with making a second set as TT then all's well, though I end up with twice as many fonts ! ?

I have on my previous PC used ATM 4.1 Deluxe, that was also XP home 32bit. Same XP disc in fact. Its now a dead PC. With the new PC I installed ATM deluxe without even thinking, as I always used it to load on Type 1 Postscript fonts and like it.

I just dont what to do now, given my experience, for my 64 bit OS. I shall keep ATM deluxe 4.1 on my 32bit, as it made easy work of installing my fonts there. The 64bit is my worry now.
