ATM Deluxe works best with TrueType fonts if they are in a separate folder from the default Windows fonts folder. That said, there are some Windows fonts that shouldn't be moved, or you will cause problems for yourself. See the thread "Messed up system fonts" on this forum for a link to a list of these fonts. 

I always just use c:\ps fonts for my PostScript and OpenType fonts and don't bother with subfolders because I have had problems in the past with long filenames (win.ini in some flavours of Windows would especially fill up fast with long filenames, but I don't know that this is a problem anymore in W2000). As long as you don't have two fonts with the same filename, you're fine. 

Cheers, Dominic
