Re: Built-in PS printer fonts and ATM

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

Whether or not your laser printer font license indicates that you can
install the fonts on your PC, you essentially HAVE TO install them on
your PC in order to make proper use of the printer equipment in a
REASONABLE fashion.

At a minimum, what ATM needs are *.PFB and *.PFM files.  Look on the
software/disk(s) supplied with the laser and search for *.PFB and *.PFM
files. While you are at it, also look for *.AFM and *.INF files.  (On
the later, there are other non-font programs that use *.INF-named files
as well)

If necessary, COPY these files to a SINGLE (all need to be in one
directory) temporary directory on your PC.  When you use ATM to do the
Add, navigate ATM to point it to that temporary directory -- ATM should
then show you a list of font names that it sees there.
