Nope, not yet. As far as I know, Adobe is still shipping ATM 1.01 (the first
release). I would not expect to see this added to the next release.

I do know that Bitstream and The Font Company are working with Adobe to 
get their fonts working with ATM (Bitstream was offering fonts that were in
a reverse-engineered Type 1 format, but they did not work with ATM). As a
matter of fact, I just got a few new fonts from The Font Company the other day,
and they were Type 1 and did work with ATM...
