Adobe Type Manager (R) 1.15 Release Notes Windows Version April 15, 1991 Adobe Type Manager is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated. Copyright 1983-1991 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. Patents Pending. ------------------------------------------------------------ APPLICATION-SPECIFIC NOTES >> Ami Professional 1.2 > Twelve-point Tms Rmn text may not enlarge in Ami's Enlarged view. This also occurs without ATM. Use Times instead of Tms Rmn. > If you use Ami's Pair Kerning option, wait until you are ready to print before activating it, rather than leaving it on all the time. >> Corel Draw 1.21 & 2.0 These versions of Corel Draw do not support ATM. >> PageMaker 3.01 & 4.0 > For the best results with ATM, set the Vector text above and Stretch text above limits in PageMaker's Preferences dialog box to 600 pixels (the maximum) for PageMaker 3.01 and 10,000 pixels for version 4.0. Earlier versions had a maximum of 127 pixels. > Underline and strikeout lines may appear broken when automatic kerning and/or justification is in effect, due to the way PageMaker handles automatic kerning. Turning paired kerning off will correct this problem. >> PowerPoint 2.0 For the best results at small point sizes on screen, remove the "Small Fonts" font using the Fonts option in the Windows Control Panel. >> Toolbook 1.0 Text may appear jagged when printed from Toolbook. This is because Toolbook does its own scaling of the screen image for printing, rather than using Windows' (or ATM's) font facilities. >> Ventura Publisher Windows Edition v3.0 > Backspacing at the end of a line sometimes causes the line to move down the screen one line per backspace. This also occurs without ATM. > In Reduced View, the fonts Helvetica and Times will not display correctly. >> Word for Windows 1.1 > The typeface used in the ruler and in the status bar may not be Helvetica. This is normal -- Word uses the first variable pitch sans-serif font available in the [Fonts] section of your ATM.INI file. > The bullet character displays and prints as a lowercase "o". This is a feature of Word. >> Excel 3.0 > When printing to a PCL printer such as the LaserJet Series II, make sure that the print resolution in the printer setup menu is set to 300 dpi. > If you are using rotated text in graphs, you must remove the aliases for the Roman and Modern fonts. See "Windows Vector fonts" below. ----------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS >> "Times" vs. "Tms Rmn" Both Times and Tms Rmn appear in your applications' font menus when ATM is on. While ATM automatically substitutes Times whenever it sees Tms Rmn (for backward compatibility with existing documents), itis more reliable to select Times instead. The same is true for Helvetica vs. Helv. >> Maximum number of fonts ATM 1.15 can install a maximum of 1500 fonts. However, Windows apparently limits the number of PostScript soft font entries in your WIN.INI file to approximately 175. If you get spurious printer error messages when starting your application or switching to a PostScript printer, you may have reached this limit. Turn off ATM and restart Windows. If the condition still persists, you must manually remove these entries from your WIN.INI file. >> Windows vector fonts ATM will substitute its scalable Times and Helvetica for Windows' Roman and Modern, respectively, in order to eliminate the "stick- figure" appearance of these fonts. If you don't want ATM to make this substitution, delete the following two lines from the [Aliases] section of your ATM.INI file: Roman=Times Modern=Helvetica >> PostScript printer font downloading The Add font option in the ATM Control Panel adds the selected fonts to every PostScript printer in WIN.INI as manually downloaded fonts. This configuration minimizes printing time since fonts will not be downloaded by Windows every time there is a font change in your document; however, the desired fonts must be resident in the printer (either in memory or on the printer's hard disk) before printing. You can reconfigure a manually downloaded font as an automatically downloaded font by modifying its entry in the PostScript section of WIN.INI. See the documentation provided with your font package for more information. >> Re-installing or installing a new version of ATM If you already have a version of ATM installed on your system, turn it off using the ATM Control Panel and restart Windows before running the ATM Installer. ------------------------------------------------------------ TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: ATM displays the message "ATM fonts and PostScript printer fonts don't match on xxx." Solution: "xxx" is the name of the first font that does not match. This message appears if your PostScript printer is not "active" or if you have changed printer ports since installing fonts through the ATM Control Panel. To reactivate your printer, you must use the Printers option in the Windows Control Panel; selecting the printer from your application's Printer Setup menu alone is not enough. If you have changed printer ports, you must add the fonts again through the ATM Control Panel. Problem: Justified text sometimes extends beyond the right margin on screen. Solution: Turn off the "Use pre-built or resident bitmap fonts" option in the ATM Control Panel. Problem: Italic or script fonts are sometimes clipped at the end of a line or at the current cursor position. Solution: This is a limitation of Windows and affects only screen display of text. The text will print correctly with ATM. Problem: Some colors of text print incorrectly on an HP PaintJet. Solution: Version 1.0 of the HP PaintJet driver and version 1.0 of Zenographics' SuperPrint do not correctly support color printing with ATM. Version 1.1 of SuperPrint and version 1.01 of the HP driver correct this problem. Problem: Ventura Publisher v3.0 displays a "Divide by zero" error message. Solution: This is due to the way Ventura Publisher manages font information. Exit Ventura Publisher, remove some fonts using the ATM Control Panel and restart Windows. Contact Ventura for the "11/90 patch" disk at (800) 822-8221. Problem: Selecting text in Ami Professional 1.2 seems sluggish. Solution: Turn off the Pair Kerning option in Ami's Defaults menu until you are ready to print. The sluggishness also occurs without ATM when using printers that support automatic kerning (such as PostScript printers). The sluggishness is due to Ami's extra overhead in performing its kerning calculations. Since ATM provides automatic kerning capabilities for all Windows-supported printers, this suggestion also applies to non-PostScript printers. Problem: Courier text is clipped at sizes smaller than 9 point on screen and on printed output. Solution: In order to avoid problems with applications that do not handle Courier correctly, ATM must return a fixed-size screen bitmapped font for small sizes. You can change this by deleting the following line from the [Aliases] section of your ATM.INI file: Courier=Courier ATM will then provide the exact (unclipped) size of Courier requested by your applications. Note that some applications don't expect to receive the size they requested. For example, the numbers in the ruler of AmiPro 1.2 will be displayed in 1 point type.
