Could anyone answer some questions about Adobe Type Manager? I am developing
my own applications on a Macintosh Plus using Turbo Pascal. The applications
will use the Image Writer II. If I stay within the printing guidelines
prescribed by Inside Macintosh, will I be able to take advantage of Adobe Type
Manager? Are there any additional guidelines I should follow when writing my
software? Would appreciate any answers!
Craig,
More technical questions should probably be directed to the Developer's desk at
Adobe. But from the README file which came with my beta copy:
"ATM does not support some of the more esoteric methods that QuickDraw can draw
text. This means that in some applications (especially drawing and painting
programs) the results for fonts using ATM, versus those not using ATM will
differ. In particular, ATM supports only the srcCopy, srcOr, srcBic, srcXor,
notSrcCopy and highlight text modes."
I would assume that if you draw text using these QuickDraw routines, you should
have no problem.
