Our user group recently had a demo of ATM.  It's just fabulous except for very
small font sizes.  According to a friend who had also seen a demo of Apples 7.0
type system, the small size fonts as displayed on the 13" momnitor were
superior to the ATM system by far.

I wonder if Adobe is aware of this and will improve the screen output before
they release the product.  The product version shown to our group was 1.0d48.
Wouldn't their hinting techniques also help the small font screen display
resolution like it does to LaserWriters?  Or perhaps the overhead would tax
perhaps the overhead would tax the CPU too much?
