- Now I;'m wondering if I should have let AmiPro install ATM at all. If
- I take the atmsys.drv out of the WinOS2 system.ini file then the ATM
- fonts which come with OS/2 appear beautifully on the screen, but all
- my extra ones - which I'd installed with the Windows version of ATM
- don't. Now, when I try to add them using the OS/2 procedure (i.e.
- popup mennu from the printer driver, etc.) I can't find any fonts at
- all. The problem appears to be that - according to the online help -
- each font should have two files, a .PFB and a .AFM, whereas the
- public-domain ones I picked up for Windows each consist of a .PFB and
- a .PFM file. Are the AFM and PFM equivalent, or do I have to find
- poublic domain foints for OS/2 separately.
