*** This is what BOTHERS ME *** about the ad!!

I have very little use for 44 point type.  I have very little use for anything
bigger than 18 points.  I have *a lot * of use for 9 and 10 points, and some
for 12 and 14.  The ad showed how nifty ATM looked on Brontasaurus-sized fonts,
but had no samples at all at say 10 points, which is probably the size I'd use
the most.

So that's my question.  How does ATM do in point sizes 9-12??

It annoys the pants off me that I can't seem to get good output on my
ImageWriter in any monospaced font.  The ImageWriter seems to know what to do
with Geneva in small point sizes, and does a good job with it at the full 144
dpi.  But if I need to print a monospaced font -- say to include computer
screens -- Courier comes out at 72 dpi and looks like boldface at 10 points.

I realize that you will never get a piece of software that can reduce the size
of an ImageWriter dot to the size of a LaserWriter dot.  But I would hope for a
range of fonts that does at least as well as native Geneva in small sizes.
