No

1. It'll be the same
2. No

Here's why:
ATM is Adobe Type Manager, for Adobe Type 1 fonts.  It works for me
noticibly faster and better than TT when the option is available. 
Scaling is great.  I have a Quadra 700 and a DeskWriter.

If you got type 1's to replace the TTs, it would prob solve your problem
IF you have ATM installed

TT was supposably a blunder by Apple that they let MicoSoft in on. 
Rumors about TT fading out are around, but i doubt there is any
incentive to make ATM help TT fonts.

According to some mac programmers i know, TT eats code, and they hate
it.  I like Type 1s and use TT sparingly, there are a couple of nice TT
not found in Type 1s as freeware/shareware on the net
