  Chapter 1. Using Adobe Type Manager

  The Adobe Type Manager **  (ATM) produces the sharpest possible
  type on-screen and on the printed page. Because it incorporates
  PostScript outline font technology, the Adobe Type Manager
  program eliminates jagged fonts so that your screen can display
  high-quality typefaces of any size or style. The ATM program also

  enables even inexpensive printers to print PostScript language
  fonts that are crisp and smooth.

  This chapter explains how to open the ATM Control Panel in a
  WIN-OS/2*  environment of OS/2* 2.0, and use it to turn the ATM
  program on or off, to add and remove fonts, and to change the font
  cache size.


  Opening the ATM Control Panel

  Options in the ATM Control Panel let you turn the ATM program on
  and off, add and remove fonts, change the font cache size, and use
  pre-built or resident font software. When you change any of the
  options in the ATM Control Panel, except the Use Pre-Built or
  Resident Fonts  option, you must exit and then restart your
  WIN-OS/2 session for your changes to take effect.


  To open the Control Panel:
   1. Open the Main group in the Program Manager if it is not
  already open.

   2. Double-click on ATM Control Panel. The ATM Control Panel
  appears.

  Turning the Program On or Off

  To turn the ATM program on or off, click on the  On  or Off  push
  button in the ATM Control Panel. A pop-up window appears
  asking if you want to restart the WIN-OS/2 session or return to the
  current WIN-OS/2 session. You must restart the WIN-OS/2 session
  for your changes to take effect.


  Adding and Removing Fonts

  The ATM program works with PostScript **  Type 1 font packages.
  You can install additional fonts in your system by clicking on the
  Add  push button or remove fonts by clicking on the  Remove  push
  button in the ATM Control Panel after selecting from the fonts
  listed in the selection list. The installed fonts are then listed in the
  ATM Control Panel.


  Adding Fonts to Your System

  To add fonts to your system:
   1. Open the ATM Control Panel.

   2. Click on the Add push button. The Add ATM Fonts pop-up
  window appears.

  The top portion of the pop-up window lets you locate the
  directory or diskette where the fonts currently reside. The
  Available Fonts selection list lists the names of the outline
  fonts in the current directory. The bottom portion of the pop-up
  window allows you to specify the directory in which the fonts
  will be installed.

   3. In the Target directory for PostScript outline fonts field, you can
  accept the default, C:\PSFONTS, or type the name of the
  directory to which you want to copy the font outline files. If the
  directory name you enter does not correspond to an existing
  directory, ATM will create a new directory. Any directory

  2 OS/2 2.0 Adobe Type Manager for WIN-OS/2

















1 ******************** Page: 3        ********************


  name you type automatically appears in the Target directory
  for font metrics files  field. You can accept this name, or enter
  the name of another directory for the font metric files.

   4. If you have diskettes containing fonts, insert the appropriate
  diskette according to the type of PostScript fonts you are
  adding.
   If you are adding the standard IBM fonts, insert the  Fonts
  for PostScript Printers  diskette.

   If you are adding Revision 3 Adobe Type Library font
  software or Revision 2, 3.5-inch-diskette Adobe Type
  Library fonts, insert the Font  diskette or the  Printer Font
  diskette, respectively.

   If you are adding Revision 1 Adobe Type Library fonts,
  insert the  Program  diskette.
   If you are adding non-Adobe fonts, insert the diskette
  containing the font-metric files (.PFM).

   5. Select the drive or directory containing the fonts from the
  Directories selection list.

   6. Select the fonts you want to add, and click on Add. You can
  select as many fonts as you want. If you want to select all of
  the fonts in the selection list, click to select the first font in the
  list, scroll to the end of the list, and then press and hold down
  the Shift key and click to select the last font. If you want to
  select specific fonts in the list, hold down the Ctrl key as you
  click on the names of the fonts you want to add.

  Note:  You should install each style of a font you want to use.
  For example, if you are installing the Times font, you
  should install Times.BOLD, Times.ITALIC, and
  Times.BOLDITALIC. However, if disk space is limited,
  you can install the regular face and ATM will
  approximate the other styles. Keep in mind, however,
  that ATM will not approximate the other styles if you are
  printing to a PostScript printer.

   7. At this point, depending on the type of fonts you are adding,
  the program may prompt you for outline-font files (.PFB). If the
  program does not prompt you for any additional files, go on to
  the next step. Otherwise, do one of the following:


  Chapter 1. Using Adobe Type Manager3

















1 ******************** Page: 4        ********************


   If you are using an Adobe Type Library package with
  multiple font diskettes, insert any supplemental diskette
  included in the package and select the appropriate drive or
  directory in the Directories selection list.

   If you are adding non-Adobe fonts, Revision 1 Adobe fonts,
  or Revision 2, 5.25-inch-diskette Adobe fonts, insert the
  Printer Font  diskette (that is, the diskette containing the
  font-outline files) and select the appropriate drive or
  directory in the Directories selection list.

  Once the fonts have been loaded, the new fonts appear in
  the Installed ATM Fonts selection list in the ATM Control
  Panel.
   8. Click on the Exit push button to complete the font installation.
  A pop-up window appears, asking whether to restart the
  WIN-OS/2 session or return to the current WIN-OS/2 session.
  You must restart the WIN-OS/2 session to use the new fonts.


  Removing Fonts from Your System

  To remove fonts from your system:
   1. In the ATM Control Panel, select the fonts you want to remove;

  then, click on the Remove  push button.
  The ATM Confirmation pop-up window appears for each
  selected font asking you to confirm that you want to remove
  the font.

   2. Click on Yes to remove the font. To remove the remaining
  fonts without confirming each one, click on the No confirmation
  to remove fonts  field.

  Note:  Removing a font does not delete the corresponding PFB
  and PFM files from the hard disk.

  Using Pre-Built or Resident Bit-Map Fonts

  When pre-built fonts (soft fonts) or resident bit-map or outline fonts
  (cartridge fonts or fonts built into the printer) are available, the
  ATM program will use them if you select Use Pre-Built or Resident
  Fonts  in the ATM Control Panel.

  In some situations, however, you might not want the ATM program
  to use pre-built or resident fonts.

   If your application supports auto-kerning, the ATM fonts will be
  kerned but the pre-built or resident fonts will not.

   Some typefaces may have a different appearance if you use
  pre-built or resident fonts. This situation is most apparent with
  the Courier font printed to a Hewlett-Packard **  LaserJet**
  printer.
   If you change the printer resolution, the ATM text changes
  accordingly, but the pre-built or resident fonts will not.



  Changing the Font Cache Size

  The size of the font cache determines the amount of system
  memory available to store font information. The default setting for
  the font cache is 96KB. You can set the font cache from 64KB to
  32 000KB.

  If you are using many typefaces or sizes, you might want to
  increase the font-cache size to improve performance. Experiment
  with the font-cache size parameter to see how it affects
  performance.

  If your applications seem unusually slow when you scroll, change
  pages, or display fonts, your font-cache size is probably too small.

  To change the font-cache size:

   1. Open the ATM Control Panel.



  ** Trademark of Hewlett-Packard Company.


  Chapter 1. Using Adobe Type Manager5

















1 ******************** Page: 6        ********************


   2. Click on the Up Arrow in the Font Cache field to increase the
  size, or click on the Down Arrow  to decrease the size.
   3. Click on the Exit push button.A pop-up window appears

  asking whether to restart the WIN-OS/2 session or return to the
  current WIN-OS/2 session. You must restart the WIN-OS/2
  session for your change in the font-cache size to take effect.


  Removing the Program from Your System

  In rare instances, you might want to remove the ATM program
  from your system.

  To remove ATM from your system:

   1. Delete the ATM Control Panel from the Main group.
   2. Use the OS/2 System Editor to open the SYSTEM.INI file in the
  directory.

  Change the line:
  SYSTEM.DRV=ATMSYS.DRV

  to:
  SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV

  Delete the line:
  ATM.SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV

   3. Delete the ATM16.DLL file and the ATMSYS.DRV files from
  OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.
   4. Delete the ATM.INI and ATMCNTRL.EXE files from
  C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2.

   5. Delete the files with the extensions PFM and PFB from the
  directories in which you installed them.

  Printing on PCL Printers

  For optimal performance, print through a parallel port (LPT).

  ATM can use pre-built fonts (soft fonts) or resident fonts (cartridge
  fonts or fonts built into the printer) when the exact font size and
  style are available. This reduces the amount of printer memory
  required to print some pages and might improve printing
  performance. The Adobe Font Foundry program (included with all
  Adobe Type Library packages) can be used to generate such soft
  fonts; the ATM Control Panel can then be used to turn this feature
  on and off.


  Printing on PostScript Printers

  If you are using ATM with a PostScript printer, PostScript soft fonts
  are automatically downloaded when you print; you might want to
  download fonts that are not resident in your printer prior to

  printing. Downloading fonts before printing can increase printing
  performance. This feature is especially useful if you frequently use
  the same fonts on your PostScript printer.

  Chapter 2. Troubleshooting

  This chapter contains solutions to problems you might encounter
  when using the ATM program. You might also want to refer to the
  README file on your ATM program
  (\OS2\MDOS\WIN0S2\README.ATM) for troubleshooting
  information that is not included in this book. Use a text editor to

  open and read the file.


  ATM Disabled

  Problem:

  The ATM startup icon is crossed out, or the ATM Control Panel
  shows that the program is ■inactive.┐

  Solution:

  Make sure that:
   Fonts appear in the ATM Control Panel.

   Your SYSTEM.INI file contains the following entries:
  SYSTEM.ATMSYS.DRV

  ATM.SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV



  Jagged Characters

  Problem:

  Characters appear jagged on-screen or when the document is
  printed, or both.

  Solution:

  Make sure that:
   You are using a PostScript language Type 1 font program, such
  as those provided with ATM.



  +  Copyright IBM Corp. 19929

















1 ******************** Page: 10       ********************


   The ATM program is turned on in the ATM Control Panel.
  (Make sure that ATM is not labeled ■inactive┐ in the ATM
  Control Panel. If ATM is active, the program's version number
  appears in the Control Panel.)

   Your printer is set for the highest resolution in its Setup pop-up
  window.

  Problem:

  Characters appear jagged on-screen but print correctly on a
  PostScript printer.

  Solution:

  For each such PostScript language printer font, install the
  corresponding outline-font program using the ATM Control Panel.


  Font Menu

  Problem:

  The ATM fonts do not appear in the Font menu of your application.

  Solution:

  Reselect your printer from within the application.

  Also verify that the font metrics (PFM files) and PostScript
  language outline-font programs (PFB files) are installed correctly.
  If necessary, add the fonts again using the ATM Control Panel.



  Printing

  Problem:

  Computer or printer performance seems slow.






  10 OS/2 2.0 Adobe Type Manager for WIN-OS/2

















1 ******************** Page: 11       ********************


  Solution:

  Increase the size of the font cache. The default setting is 96KB.
  For graphic arts applications, you might want to use a font-cache
  size of 128KB or larger.


  System Messages

  Problem:

  A memory error occurs when you open an application with the
  ATM program turned on.

  Solution:

  The current system configuration does not leave enough memory
  for your application. Try decreasing the ATM font cache size,

  decreasing the number of files specified in your CONFIG.SYS file,
  removing any networking software, or increasing the DPMI
  memory limit in the WIN-OS/2 settings for your WIN-OS/2 session.

  Problem:

  A PCL printer indicates an ■out of memory┐ error condition.

  Solution:

  If you have the correct soft font or cartridge font installed, make
  sure that Use Pre-Built or Resident Bit Map Fonts  is selected in the
  ATM Control Panel. Also, consider adding more memory to your
  printer.
