I don't understand this thread. Why won't System 7 display Adobe fonts the
same way System 6 does, ie., with bit-mapped screen fonts? Why are people
assuming that ATM won't work (or be upgraded to work) with System 7?
Why do people equate font technology with Postscript - a page description
language? I feel like I must be missing something.
