- Guenter Stueck of Germany provided this soulution (which works):
-
- - Delete all previously installed fonts within ATM
- - Erase the directories \psfonts and \psfonts\pfm
- - Edit *.INF on the font disk, *except* symb.inf. Replace all
- occurences of "Pi true" with "Pi false"
- - Start ATM and reinstall the fonts.
-
- Here you go!

- PS: This is a *big* pain for us non-us (no pun intended...) folks,
- as we really need these characters. How about including this into
- the FAQ? Tim?
