[I tried to post this (or something very like it) once before but I don't think
it went anywhere (it didn't show up here on Portal).  If it did, please
excuse.]

I finally purchased ATM, decided to give it a try.  The output is beautiful,
mostly.  However, in several parts of the document I printed (a three-page
letter), a line of pixels got displaced.  In some cases it was just a single
line, or two lines, giving odd effects with character descenders.  In a couple
of others, several lines were displaced, making the text unreadable.  Printing
the same text in a font unaffected by ATM gave a normal printout.  Also, the
right margin became ragged after several paragraphs.  The letter was typed in
FullWrite and most of it was typed before I got ATM.  I changed the font and
fontsize with the Base Styles menu to Times 14.  Output is to an ImageWriter II
that has never given any problems before.  Inits include GateKeeper, GateKeeper
Aid, QuickKeys, Suitcase II, On Cue, some others (nothing off-the-wall).
Running System 6.0.2 on a 2-meg 512KE (Dove upgrade), Multifinder active.

Is this a bug with (a) ATM, (b) FullWrite, (c) the ImageWrite II, (d) any, all,
or none of the above?  I'm going to call Adobe's tech support line next week,
but if anyone has any ideas/experiences, I'd be glad to hear them.  I *really*
like the way the output that did print correctly turned out, so I hope I can
figure this out and get it resolved!

Please respond by E-mail, I try to keep up with comp.sys.mac but sometimes get
behind.

Thank you all in advance, if only for reading this far...
