Do you want this to get ugly? Well here goes: 
1) If the bitmaps for a particular size/style exist - those will be used.
2) If the the above isn't true, ATM will look for the PostScript outlines. So
   a 50 point bold in Helvetica will look for the HelveticaBold outline and go
   from there. If the styled outline doesn't exist, then it will look for the
   roman outline and ATM will do it's own style variations to the base outline.
3) If you don't have outlines available for the font, QuickDraw will be used
   like normal.

Type in other style variations works fine too (underline, shadow, outline).
Shadow type at large point sizes gives a great 3-D effect.

Hope this answered your question.
