Supposedly, PC Connection is already advertising it.

What I'm more interested in is how it works.  On the Mac, there's a
fairly orderly way to patch traps.  How does ATM for Windows patch the
font bitmap retreiver in GDI, thus turning it into a real font
rasterizer ?  Did Microsoft provide some trap doors for Adobe ?
Or is it implemented in a fairly gross way, by reimplementing TextOut,
DrawText, etc. ?
