I'm working with a MAC-only type designer to convert existing MAC fonts to Windows formats for commercial sale.   

When I output Type 1 fonts from FontLab 4, it limits the Copyright Notice displayed in the ATM font preview to a certain number of characters.  This limitation can be seen in the .pfm file.  I tried editing the .pfm, but even when I save it with "text only" settings, it is not recognized by ATM. 

To conserve the number of characters in the notice (and thereby display all info including "All Rights Reserved"), I've been bypassing FontLab's automatic record-building feature and manually inserting the copyright symbol [0169] in the Copyright Notice field of the FontLab dialog box. 

On my system, this works.  My question is whether the screen font used by ATM to display the copyright notice in the font preview is system- specific. 

In other words, when someone else previews the same fonts with ATM, could the screen font default to one that doesn't support the copyright symbol? 

Many thanks for your help, Anna
