- I'd go with TrueType. Having ATM installed won't make TrueType go
- away and will use up more RAM. Since your printer doesn't talk
- PostScript, I don't see any advantage to it unless you'll be sharing
- ducuments regularly with other systems that _do_ use PostScript.
-
- Of course, I don't follow my own advice. I have both installed since
- there are some fonts that only come in the PostScript format.
