 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This statement is not correct. On the printer, you might get similar results 
- for similar fonts, but on the screen is where you'll see the difference. Try
getting a 13 point, 44, 99, etc... with the non-Adobe/ATM fonts. You can't
unless you make your own with Fontographer, or use FontSizer to make a bitmap
for some size. Both take a lot of time and aren't anywhere as flexible.

ATM isn't just for printers - it's for any output device. Screen and printer
being the most popular, but for all those people using film recorders and
dying for PostScript fonts, it's 'the' solution.
