I started a thread last week called "FM 5.6.6 doesn't look for fonts in C:\PSFONTS." I got too busy to be able to continue along with the thread explaining my problem. I'm hoping that in this thread I can better explain my problem and clarify that I have indeed installed the fonts using ATM. 

First, I am using FM 5.6.6, Adobe Type Manager 4.1, and Windows ME. I have installed the ATM fonts using the Type Manager and the proper font files exist in the C:\PSFONT directories. 

The two types of fonts that come up as missing if I do not have my Zip disk in drive E are the Barcode font and the ScalaSansLining fonts. Once I insert the Zip disk, I get an FM console message that these fonts have been "auto-activated," (not sure what auto-activated means). My FM files, then open with the proper fonts displayed. 

Honestly, FM does not find the fonts unless my Zip disk that contains the "original" font files is in the Zip drive. 

I tried reinstalling the fonts using ATM, and FM "found" the fonts without a problem when I ejected the Zip disk (that holds the "original" font files), but it was during only one FM session. If I shut down FM and reopened it, it would not find the fonts if the Zip disk was not in the drive. 

The responses to my earlier thread seemed quite skeptical that I had this problem. I'm perplexed too that FM will only find the fonts when the Zip is in the drive. 

Can anyone help with this problem? If you need any more info or further explanation, please let me know. Thank you.
