I just ran across an intersting thing using ATM, and thought that I'd share my observation with the net: For some reason, at EXTREMELY large point sizes, ATM can't handle it. Using FreeHand 2.02, I made 350 point type and then went to Actual Size. While not as severe as without ATM, the jaggies were QUITE evident. And then when I zoomed in, it just got worse and worse and worse. One reason I point this out is that I've seen text that large (and larger) look great on the screen (in the PD/shareware(?) Banner program recently released on info-mac). Is this a limitation in ATM, or is it FreeHand? I figured that ATM would override the application, and give accurate jaggy-free renditions at _ANY_ point size. But I guess not... Just an observation, Kevin Bolduan KSBOLDUAN@AMHERST Bitnet Address
