Bill, ATM will find the outline fonts through Suitcase II in almost all cases. The only constraint I've run into is that, when I use MultiDisk to partition my drive, it won't find the fonts if they're on a different partition from the System Folder. Normally, I keep a fonts folder in the system folder. In the fonts folder, I keep a folder for each individual font, containing the suitcase file and the printer fonts. I have about 90 font families in there (about 20Mb) and I haven't had any trouble. The fonts folder does take a while to open in the Finder, but I hardly ever do that anyway. Just sticking the printer fonts in the system folder might give you some problems, I suppose, but if you organize them in sub-folders, I think you'll find it works ok. The one recommendation I'd make is that you keep the printer font in the same folder as its corresponding screen font. (I reported the MultiDisk problem to Adobe, and they said they'd check it out, but they couldn't guarantee that it'd be fixed. However, ATM's Suitcase II compatibility is definitely more than just peaceful co-existence, if a little less than total transparency. Otherwise I couldn't use it — I rely on Suitcase far too much!)
