- Using ATM With The Magicorp Slide Service:
-
- You can use Adobe Type Manager with MAGICorp Fonts.
-
- The contents of MAGICORP.ATM needs to be added to the ATM.INI file located
- in your Windows directory.
-
- 1. Open the File MAGICORP.ATM with Notepad (or any text editor).
- MAGICorp.ATM is located on your MAGICorp subdirectory.
-
- 2. Select the font mappings listed in the [ALIASES] section for your version
- of ATM.
-
- 3. Select Copy from the Edit menu.
-
- 4. Open the file ATM.INI.
-
- 5. Scroll down to the section titled [ALIASES].
-
- 6. Place the cursor on a new line.
-
- 7. Select Paste from the Edit menu.
-
- 8. Scroll a little further to the section titled [SYNONYMS].
-
- 9. Place the cursor on a new line.
-
- 10. Select Paste for the Edit menu.
-
- 11. Save the file.
-
- You must restart Windows for the new settings to take effect. Output to
- other printing devices will not be affected.
-
- This "font mapping" is a process of using one font for the screen display
- and another for printing. Hence, the line: Swiss 721=Helvetica in the
- Aliases section tells ATM Helvetica for the screen whenever Swiss 721 is
- selected. All font statements in the ATM.INI must be entered in that order.
- ATM works with Adobe fonts while MAGICorp uses Bitstream Printer fonts. If
- you purchase more Adobe fonts (than the ones that come with the basic ATM
- package) you may wish to do some font mapping on your own. If you add font
- mapping statements to the Aliases list be sure that the name of the MAGICorp
- font is typed exactly as it appears in the application's font list
- Any additions to the Aliases list must also be added to the MAGIFONT.MAP
- (located in the \Windows\System subdirectory) file. The font mapping line
- should contain the same mapping but must be typed atm name=magicorp name.
- For example the line in the ATM.INI aliases section reads:
- Swiss 721=Helvetica but in the MAGIFONT.MAP table it is entered
- as: Helvetica=Swiss 721.
-
- ATM cannot dither color. It can only represent solid color to the screen.
- If your display is only 16 colors, colors chosen outside the palette will be
- mapped to a solid color on the screen. Sometimes a custom color's screen
- representation may look way off i.e. white in place of a light green. The
- file, however, will contain the color information of the custom color you
- selected, so your slide will turn out fine. This problem should not exist
- for users with a 256 color display.
