I find it interesting that many people seem to like ATM. I've tried it with my 1MB Mac Plus and ImageWriter. I don't have lots of cache memory available. Font scaling on screen is extremely slow; so it is only usable with screen fonts that don't have to be scaled. Hence, it doesn't improve the appearance of my fonts on screen. I typically use 9, 10 and 12 point fonts for my correspondence. At these sizes using ATM makes a negligible difference in the quality of my printed output. In some cases, letting Apple's printer driver scale down a double sized font gives nicer output than ATM produces. On my system ATM doesn't live up to either of its advertised benefits, and the loss of RAM for the font cache hurts, as does the poor performance when ATM scaling is required.
