Hello all. I just (re)installed my entire system from the OS (Windows XP Pro SP2) on up and am now getting around to the Adobe apps and had a question. I have the Adobe CS2 Premium package, so that's all the good stuff right there. I also have ATM 4.1 Deluxe from a while back. From my quick research on these forums, I've read that I really don't *need* ATM unless working with Multiple Master fonts. The question I have is whether or not installing CS2 already gives me the ability to deal with MM fonts, or do I still need to install ATM 4.1 (either the version I have on CD or the lite version as a fresh download, either is fine with me). A related question is whether I need ATM for using MM fonts OUTSIDE of Adobe apps (like in MS Word or Excel). Are the CS2 versions of apps smart enough to know how to use MM fonts in and of themselves and the only reason I'd install ATM is for MM support for non-CS2 apps. Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
