Donna– Thanks for your complete answer. It led me to a couple more questions, though, so here goes: 1) If I can use the Type 1 fonts rather than the TrueType fonts, does this mean that ATM will now work with Corel? Including text objects that have been distorted beyond sanity with Corel's wonderful tools? 2) In the case of either TrueType or Type 1: I currently stash my Type 1 fonts and TrueType fonts in separate directories on my hard disk. Corel 2.0x used to require a "private" location for its own .WFN library. a) Will I now be able to put the Corel Type 1s (or TrueTypes) wherever I like? And, following from that, b) will Corel now work directly with any other Type 1 or TrueType fonts I happen to have anywhere on my system? If the answer to 2b) is Yes, you've made a major breakthrough. Looking forward to your answer, –Dave Makulec

Dave, >1)If I can use the Type 1 fonts rather than the TrueType fonts, does >this mean that ATM will now work with Corel? Including text objects >that have been distorted beyond sanity with Corel's wonderful tools? Yes. >2.a) Will I now be able to put the Corel Type 1s (or TrueTypes) >wherever I like? As long as ATM "knows" about them, you're fine. It would be ATM's problem as to where on your HD the fonts were located. And, as long as the Windows Control Panel installs the Truetype fonts okay, then we're fine. Where on the HD the fonts are located is Windows' problem at that point. >b) will Corel now work directly with any other Type 1 or TrueType >fonts I happen to have anywhere on my system? I believe that's answered above. >If the answer to 2b) is Yes, you've made a major breakthrough. I guess we have :-). Donna
