Addendum to an earlier ATM question. A few days ago, a technical question was presented that asked about ATM and I mentioned that when the cache became full of outlines, that ATM would just revert to letting QuickDraw take care of it like old times. Well that was last week and this do change quickly in this business. ATM now uses a LRU technique to manage the cache - so it will flush out some outlines to make room for others. So it should never really fail except in cases where you have the cache too small to work with the requested size - say a 64K cache and a 1000 point font, that may cause it to revert to quickdraw. In the latest version I haven't had it fail yet - though 500 point in MacWrite II can waste a few pages (one page per letter) :-) It's hard to give accurate information until the product ships. Since things have already changed during these latter stages of testing, there may be a few more that change in this last month. Hope this fixes any inaccurate information I may have given. ---- Brian Bezanson bezanson@adobe.com Adobe Systems Incorporated
