The problem is with the ImageWriter driver, not with ATM.  And Apple will have
to rewrite it to make Royal fonts not have the same problem; the rewrite will
do an equally good job of making ATM work right on ImageWriters.

Don't flame Adobe for not being able to unscrew the inscrutable, namely the
hidden and undocumented internals of printer drivers, or for not being able to
rewrite copyrighted Apple code.  The ImageWriter driver just plain can't cope
with kerning, whatever the source.
