- ATM 3.0 is not the SuperATM which can do font substitution (aliasing)
- (not the rastarization)
- it's a feature brought from the Carussel project to work mit your fonts
- even if the document is made with other fonts, without changing the text
- flow (hyphens ...) So you can make an alias of eg. Bookman (which you don't
- have) to be processed from your Times (MM font required!). The text really
- should fall the same on each page. Some people might fear that this may
- look
- ugly but the transformation is done very carefully, so that only good
- typographs
- my consider that the font has the wrong flow...
