Re: "cannot convert to TrueType" message on Win 2000

Yep, you have the true symptoms of ATM 4.0 for Windows'9x (as opposed
to ATM 4.0 for Windows NT 4) having been installed on that system at
one time or another. You could try the solution posted by a third party
at <http://www.geocities.com/ATMFix2kXP/> (Adobe neither endorses nor
rejects this solution officially) or totally reinstall your OS as a
clean install in a newly formatted partition. If you have any doubts
about your system's configuration and lineage, I would suggest the latter
as the safest route, much as I hate Reinstallzheimers'.

This message only occurs on a machine whose Win2K is of uncertain origin, that is, not a brand-new clean install. There's a c:\psfonts folder on this machine, which makes me thnk that fonts had at one time been installed with ATM, in an earlier version of Windows, such as 98. I also get a message something like "This font exists as TrueType. Uninstall, then reinstall," when dragging the fonts into c:\psfonts.
