APPLICATION-SPECIFIC NOTES
>> Ami Professional 1.2
> Twelve-point Tms Rmn text may not enlarge in Ami's Enlarged view.
This also occurs without ATM. Use Times instead of Tms Rmn.
> If you use Ami's Pair Kerning option, wait until you are ready
to print before activating it, rather than leaving it on all the
time.
>> Corel Draw 1.21 & 2.0
These versions of Corel Draw do not support ATM.
>> PageMaker 3.01 & 4.0
> For the best results with ATM, set the Vector text above and
Stretch text above limits in PageMaker's Preferences dialog box
to 600 pixels (the maximum) for PageMaker 3.01 and 10,000 pixels
for version 4.0. Earlier versions had a maximum of 127 pixels.
> Underline and strikeout lines may appear broken when automatic
kerning and/or justification is in effect, due to the way
PageMaker handles automatic kerning. Turning paired kerning off
will correct this problem.
>> PowerPoint 2.0
For the best results at small point sizes on screen, remove the
"Small Fonts" font using the Fonts option in the Windows Control
Panel.
>> Toolbook 1.0
Text may appear jagged when printed from Toolbook. This is
because Toolbook does its own scaling of the screen image for
printing, rather than using Windows' (or ATM's) font facilities.
>> Ventura Publisher Windows Edition v3.0
> Backspacing at the end of a line sometimes causes the line to
move down the screen one line per backspace. This also occurs
without ATM.
> In Reduced View, the fonts Helvetica and Times will not display
correctly.
>> Word for Windows 1.1
> The typeface used in the ruler and in the status bar may not be
Helvetica. This is normal -- Word uses the first variable pitch
sans-serif font available in the [Fonts] section of your ATM.INI
file.
> The bullet character displays and prints as a lowercase "o".
This is a feature of Word.
>> Excel 3.0
> When printing to a PCL printer such as the LaserJet Series II,
make sure that the print resolution in the printer setup menu is
set to 300 dpi.
> If you are using rotated text in graphs, you must remove the aliases
for the Roman and Modern fonts. See "Windows Vector fonts" below.
-----------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS
>> "Times" vs. "Tms Rmn"
Both Times and Tms Rmn appear in your applications' font menus when
ATM is on. While ATM automatically substitutes Times whenever it
sees Tms Rmn (for backward compatibility with existing documents),
itis more reliable to select Times instead. The same is true for
Helvetica vs. Helv.
>> Maximum number of fonts
ATM 1.15 can install a maximum of 1500 fonts. However, Windows
apparently limits the number of PostScript soft font entries in
your WIN.INI file to approximately 175. If you get spurious
printer error messages when starting your application or switching
to a PostScript printer, you may have reached this limit. Turn off
ATM and restart Windows. If the condition still persists, you must
manually remove these entries from your WIN.INI file.
>> Windows vector fonts
ATM will substitute its scalable Times and Helvetica for Windows'
Roman and Modern, respectively, in order to eliminate the "stick-
figure" appearance of these fonts. If you don't want ATM to make
this substitution, delete the following two lines from the
[Aliases] section of your ATM.INI file:
Roman=Times
Modern=Helvetica
>> PostScript printer font downloading
The Add font option in the ATM Control Panel adds the selected
fonts to every PostScript printer in WIN.INI as manually downloaded
fonts. This configuration minimizes printing time since fonts will
not be downloaded by Windows every time there is a font change in
your document; however, the desired fonts must be resident in the
printer (either in memory or on the printer's hard disk) before printing.
You can reconfigure a manually downloaded font as an automatically
downloaded font by modifying its entry in the PostScript section of
WIN.INI. See the documentation provided with your font package for
more information.
>> Re-installing or installing a new version of ATM
If you already have a version of ATM installed on your system,
turn it off using the ATM Control Panel and restart Windows before
running the ATM Installer.
------------------------------------------------------------
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: ATM displays the message "ATM fonts and PostScript printer
fonts don't match on xxx."
Solution: "xxx" is the name of the first font that does not match.
This message appears if your PostScript printer is not "active" or if
you have changed printer ports since installing fonts through the ATM
Control Panel. To reactivate your printer, you must use the Printers
option in the Windows Control Panel; selecting the printer from your
application's Printer Setup menu alone is not enough. If you have
changed printer ports, you must add the fonts again through the ATM
Control Panel.
Problem: Justified text sometimes extends beyond the right margin
on screen.
Solution: Turn off the "Use pre-built or resident bitmap fonts"
option in the ATM Control Panel.
Problem: Italic or script fonts are sometimes clipped at the end
of a line or at the current cursor position.
Solution: This is a limitation of Windows and affects only screen
display of text. The text will print correctly with ATM.
Problem: Some colors of text print incorrectly on an HP PaintJet.
Solution: Version 1.0 of the HP PaintJet driver and version 1.0
of Zenographics' SuperPrint do not correctly support color printing
with ATM. Version 1.1 of SuperPrint and version 1.01 of the HP
driver correct this problem.
Problem: Ventura Publisher v3.0 displays a "Divide by zero" error
message.
Solution: This is due to the way Ventura Publisher manages font
information. Exit Ventura Publisher, remove some fonts using the
ATM Control Panel and restart Windows. Contact Ventura for the
"11/90 patch" disk at (800) 822-8221.
Problem: Selecting text in Ami Professional 1.2 seems sluggish.
Solution: Turn off the Pair Kerning option in Ami's Defaults menu
until you are ready to print. The sluggishness also occurs without
ATM when using printers that support automatic kerning (such as
PostScript printers). The sluggishness is due to Ami's extra
overhead in performing its kerning calculations. Since ATM provides
automatic kerning capabilities for all Windows-supported printers,
this suggestion also applies to non-PostScript printers.
Problem: Courier text is clipped at sizes smaller than 9 point on
screen and on printed output.
Solution: In order to avoid problems with applications that do
not handle Courier correctly, ATM must return a fixed-size screen
bitmapped font for small sizes. You can change this by deleting
the following line from the [Aliases] section of your ATM.INI file:
Courier=Courier
ATM will then provide the exact (unclipped) size of Courier requested
by your applications. Note that some applications don't expect to
receive the size they requested. For example, the numbers in the
ruler of AmiPro 1.2 will be displayed in 1 point type.
