The ATM does a very good job at small sizes on non-PostScript devices. The
reason large type was used for the ads were probably that it is more
impressive at first sight, and most users will have already seen smaller sizes
on their screens already.

With ATM, you will get a lot better results at smaller sizes than w/o ATM.
I don't want to spend gobs of time on this because - seeing is believing. 
At Seybold, we'll have ImageWriters, H.P Desk Writers, etc... showing what 
ATM can do.  Grab someone, type in some small text and print it. For those 
not at Seybold, I'm sure MacWeek might say/show something - or wait till 
it comes out in October.

With small sizes (10, 12, 14) you'll still want to use the bitmaps for screen
images (ATM will drop in for the printer when needed), they will save you
speed (no building needed) and memory (already created). You'll get results at
7 point - 17 point (using your under 18 point scenario) that are better than
anything you can get with current quickdraw/systems.
