Anybody know of a program that can convert adobe fonts used in
Adobe Type Manager over to true type? I have about 60 Adobe fonts,
and would like to delete ATM if I can convert them over to True
Type...
 
Thanks.

Seems to me that if Microsoft did this, they could put a serious dent
in ATM.  And after all isn't what they wanted to do (otherwise why
bother with TT at all).  I wonder though what the legal ramifications
of this are.  As I understand it, you can't copyright a typeface, but
you can copyright the name of the typeface.  Would the converted
typefonts be considered a derivitave work, and therefore be protected?
