I just received both ATM and the Corel Draw! upgrade, and I've successfully
converted some Corel Draw! fonts to Type 1 format.  However I have a few
questions, some of which have been addressed before, but not to my
satisfaction :-) ...

1) No matter what I do (aliases, synonyms, everything short of deleting
all the vector fonts, which I haven't tried yet) every application I've
ran list both Helv and Helvetica (sp?), and Tms Rmn and Times Roman in
the fonts list.  Could it be the .FON files that come with Pagemaker?

2) The fonts I've converted from Corel Draw! don't appear to have their
associated screen fonts.  Every fonts that wasn't included with ATM shows
up on the screen as Times Roman.  Am I forgetting something or is this just
one of the downfalls of getting free Adobe fonts? :-)

3) The fonts included with ATM have separate files for bold, italic, and
bold italic.  When I convert fonts from Corel Draw, all the information is
in one file for all four fonts.  Is this OK?  It works without problem (unless
this is related to the screen font problem) so I guess it's OK.  Is their any
advantage to having separate files?  If so, how do I get separate files when
I convert from Corel Draw!

Other than that, ATM is a very useful product and nicely done.  Well worth
the $60 I paid for it mail order.  I'm sure it will shortly save me much
more than $60 worth of hard disk space! :-) (I've already freed up 4 megs
so far, which is wonderful since I was down to 1 MB on a 60 MB hard disk!)

Email responses are OK, though you may as well post any answers to the net,
since it isn't likely that I'm the ONLY one wondering about these things :-)

Thanx in advance!
