At large point sizes, Freehand does it's own thing and bypasses the font manager (and ATM). Anything larger than about 127 points and Freehand basically turns off ATM -- a case of an application being too smart for its own good, perhaps. Anyway, it's a Freehand 'feature', not an ATM bug. -- Chuq Von Rospach <+> chuq@apple.com <+> [This is myself speaking] Rumour has it that Larry Wall, author of RN, is a finalist in the race for the Nobel Peace Prize for his invention of the kill file.
