TITLE: How to Resolve ATM Fonts That Don't Match for a PostScript Printer PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0 DATE: 04-Oct-1991 PROBLEM: Adobe Type Manager fonts have been installed. Upon entering Ami Pro, the message "ATM fonts and PostScript printer fonts don't match on Helvetica" appears. SOLUTION: The error "ATM fonts and PostScript printer fonts don't match on Helvetica" is a message that is generated by the Adobe Type Manager (ATM) program. If a version of ATM containing Helvetica was installed prior to installing the ATM program provided with Ami Pro release 2.0, modifications should be made to the ATM.INI file. HOW TO MODIFY THE ATM.INI FILE 1. At the Windows Program Manager choose File / Run. 2. Type ATM.INI and choose OK. This runs the Windows editor Notepad and loads the file ATM.INI. 3. Choose Search / Find. 4. Type [Aliases] and choose OK. 5. Press the DOWN arrow to position the insertion point on the line that reads: Helv=Arial MT 6. Replace Arial MT with Helvetica so that the line reads: Helv=Helvetica 7. If the ATM Times font has been installed, press the DOWN arrow to position the insertion point on the line that reads: Tms Rmn=TimesNewRomanPS If the ATM Times font has not been installed, skip to Step 9. 8. Replace TimesNewRomanPS with Times so that the line reads: Tms Rmn=Times 9. Choose Search / Find. 10. Type [Synonyms] and choose OK. 11. Repeat Steps 5-8 to make the same chances in the [Synonyms] section. 12. Choose File / Save to save the changes. 13. Press ALT + F4 to close Notepad. 14. Exit Windows completely to the DOS prompt. 15. Load Windows and Ami Pro again. If the message continues to appear, or if another font is listed, the fonts that are listed in Adobe Type Manager's ATM.INI file do not match the fonts listed in the WIN.INI file section for the selected PostScript printer. Generally the reason the fonts don't match is because the PostScript printer was not the default printer in Windows at the time the ATM program was installed or the port connection for the PostScript printer has been changed since the ATM program was installed. The Adobe Type Manager program places the names of ATM fonts in the Windows WIN.INI section for the PostScript printer that is the default Windows printer at the time ATM is installed. If the Windows default printer at the time ATM is installed is not a PostScript printer, no ATM fonts will be listed in the WIN.INI file for a PostScript printer. If a PostScript printer is the Windows default printer at the time ATM is installed, the ATM fonts will be listed only for the default PostScript printer connection. For example, if a PostScript printer connected to the LPT1 port is the default printer when ATM is installed, ATM's fonts will be listed in the PostScript section of the WIN.INI file with the LTP1 connection. If there are other PostScript sections in the WIN.INI file with other port connections, these sections will not be updated with the ATM font list. A PostScript printer section in the WIN.INI file can be updated with the ATM font entries by following these steps: 1. Connect the PostScript printer to the desired port through the Printers section of the Control Panel. a. In Windows run the Control Panel (there is usually an icon for the Control Panel). b. Choose the printers icon. c. Choose PostScript printer in the Installed printers list box. d. Choose Configure. e. From the Printers Configure dialog box choose the desired port. f. Choose OK. g. Choose Active Status. 2. Choose Configure. 3. Choose Setup. 4. Change the orientation to the opposite of the current setting (for example, if the current orientation is portrait, change it to landscape). 5. Choose OK. 6. Choose Setup to change the orientation to the desired setting if the change made in Step 4 is not the desired setting. NOTE: The reason for changing the orientation is to force creation of a section for the PostScript printer attached to the new port in the Windows WIN.INI file if the section does not exist. A section for the printer attached to the new port is necessary in order for ATM to add the font lines properly into the WIN.INI file. 7. Choose OK. 8. Choose OK. 9. With a mouse, double click on PostScript printer in the Installed Printers box to make it the default printer (without a mouse press ALT + D). 10. Choose OK. 11. Choose ALT + F4 to close the Control Panel. 12. Install the ATM fonts through the ATM Control Panel (there is usually a Windows icon for running ATM). NOTE: If the ATM fonts are not manually downloaded to the PostScript printer, use the ATM disk that is supplied with Ami Pro to install the ATM fonts instead of using the ATM Control Panel. Installing the fonts supplied for Ami Pro with the version 1.15 ATM program disk (this is the version that is shipped with Ami Pro 2.0) will place in the WIN.INI file the necessary information for temporarily downloading to the printer the required fonts with each print job. Installing ATM fonts from the ATM Control Panel in Windows will not place the information in the PostScript section of the WIN.INI file for downloading fonts to the printer with each print job. This provides for the opportunity to manually download the files to the PostScript printer. 13. If the ATM disk is used in Step 12 instead of the ATM Control Panel, the ATM.INI file will need to be modified again if the ATM fonts Helvetica and Times are still installed. Repeat the steps in the section titled HOW TO MODIFY THE ATM.INI FILE. If the ATM Control Panel was used in Step 12 or if the ATM fonts Helvetica and Times are no longer installed, skip this step. 14. Exit Windows completely to the DOS prompt. 15. Load Windows. The PostScript printer section in WIN.INI should now match the fonts listed in the ATM.INI file.
