NEW FEATURES IN ATM 3.9 Ą Native support for the Apple PowerMacintosh Ą Support for Japanese fonts Ą Support for Apple System 7.5 and QuickDraw GX Ą ATM is now a single Control Panel Ą ATM no longer requires a serial number nor does it perform network copy protection 2. TECHNICAL SUPPORT Adobe Technical Support is available in the U.S. at (206) 628-2757, Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Automated support is also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 3. LANGUAGE SUPPORT ATM will now run in any of the following ten languages: Danish Dutch English Finnish French German Italian Norwegian Spanish Swedish How it works: ATM checks the System language when your start up your Macintosh. If ATM finds an ATM language file to match the System language, it will localize itself to that language. If ATM can not find an ATM language file which matches the System language, ATM will run in the language to which it had most recently localized itself. For example, if the System language is French and ATM can find a French ATM language file when you start up your Macintosh, it will localize itself to French. If you then change the System language to English and ATM can find an English ATM language file, ATM will run in English. However, if you change the System language to English and ATM can not find an English ATM language file, ATM will still run in French. Installation behavior: If the System language is English, Easy Install will not install an ATM language file. If the System language is not English and the ATM Installer contains an ATM language file to match the System language, Easy Install will automatically a) make an ATM Preferences folder inside the System Preferences folder if one does not exist, and b) copy the correct ATM language file to the ATM Preferences folder. If the System language is not English and the ATM Installer does not contain an ATM language file to match the System language, Easy Install will install ATM without an ATM language file and ATM will run in English. If you want to install more than one ATM language file, choose Custom Install. 4. SYSTEM SOFTWARE ISSUES Ą ATM 3.9 requires System 6.0.5 or newer. Ą If you are running System 6, you must use Font/DA Mover 4.1 or newer when installing multiple master fonts. Ą If a dialog appears stating that ATM cannot render text due to a low cache size, open the ATM Control Panel, increase the font cache size, and reboot. An ATM font cache of 256K or higher is recommended when using multiple master fonts. 5. APPLICATION ISSUES Ą QuarkXPress 3.1 will not print EPSF files containing multiple master fonts created with Adobe Illustrator 3.0. To solve this problem, upgrade to QuarkXPress 3.1.1 or newer. Ą QuarkXPress 3.0 does not display text correctly when zooming in and out of a text block or when rotating a text block with ATM 3.9 installed. To solve this problem, upgrade to QuarkXPress 3.1.1 or newer. Ą For best spacing when printing to the Apple ImageWriter with Microsoft Word 4.0d, check the Fractional Widths option in the Page Setup dialog. Microsoft Word 4.0d supports Fractional Widths on the ImageWriter; earlier versions did not. Ą Fontastic Plus cannot edit bitmapped fonts while ATM is active. Ą Underlined text in Adobe TypeAlign may not print to PostScript printers. Ą SuperATM does not always substitute for missing fonts when an application is importing a document from another application. Ą Multiple master fonts will not print to a PostScript printer with the Aldus PageMaker 4.2 PostScript printer driver. Hold down the option key while selecting Print from the File menu to bypass the Aldus driver. Aldus PageMaker 5.0 uses a new printer driver that is compatible with multiple master fonts. Ą Rotated multiple master fonts with a gradient fill may not print to PostScript printers from Aldus SuperPaint 3.0. Ą Multiple master font names are truncated in the font menu in FrameMaker 3.0.1. Ą You may experience problems canceling foreground print jobs from ClarisWorks 2.0 or newer with the Apple LaserWriter printer driver. 6. PRINTING ISSUES Ą PostScript errors, such as "VMerror" when printing to Level 1 or Level 2 PostScript printers, may be caused by not enough available memory. Consider adding more memory to your printer or reducing the number of fonts used in your document. Ą Documents containing multiple master fonts may not print to a PostScript printer if you have selected ŇUnlimited Downloadable Fonts in a DocumentÓ from the Page Setup Options dialog. Make sure that this option is not selected if you are experiencing problems. Ą Documents containing multiple master fonts will not print to imagesetters with Kodak Precision version 1.26 and older. Please call Kodak to obtain a software fix or upgrade to the latest version. Ą The Hewlett Packard Level 1 PostScript cartridge does not support multiple master technology or substituted fonts. A Hewlett Packard PostScript Level 2 cartridge which is compatible with multiple master fonts is available for later model printers. Ą Apple Computer's LaserWriter Select 300 will not print Type 1 fonts when the printer is networked. The printer must be directly connected. Ą To print to the HP DeskWriter, make sure you have at least version 3.9 of the DeskWriter printer driver. 7. CONTROL PANEL AND EXTENSION ISSUES Ą Norton UtilitiesŐ FileSaver 2.0 from Symantec Corporation will crash during boot after upgrading from version 1.5 to version 2.0. To work around this problem, open the FileSaver Control Panel, uncheck all options, and recheck them after restart. Another option is to move FileSaver 2.0 into the root of the System Folder and reboot. Ą MasterJuggler versions previous to 1.59 are not compatible with multiple master fonts. To work around this problem, upgrade your copy of MasterJuggler or drag your multiple master fonts into the System Folder if you are using System 7.0 or greater. If you are running System 6, you must use Font/DA Mover 4.1 or newer when installing multiple master fonts. Ą If you use Suitcase, do not install fonts in a folder named Other Fonts in the System folder. This will cause problems printing to the Apple Personal LaserWriter NT. Place the fonts in another folder and access them there through Suitcase, or install them in the System. Ą Global Village fax software version 2.08 and earlier will not work if an 18 or 24 point bitmap is present in the Helvetica suitcase. Remove these bitmaps from the font suitcase to solve this problem. 8. QUICKDRAW GX ISSUES Ą If you upgrade to System 7.5, the System 7.5 Installer will automatically enable your Type 1 fonts for use with QuickDraw GX if they are installed in the System, or in the Fonts or Extensions folder inside the System folder. If you use a utility such as Suitcase or MasterJuggler and your Type 1 fonts are not located in these places, you must enable them with the Type 1 Enabler application included with System 7.5. See ŇUsing Type 1 fonts with QuickDraw GXÓ in the System 7.5 Upgrade Guide for information about installing the Type 1 Enabler. Ą If you install Type 1 fonts after you install QuickDraw GX, you must enable them with the Type 1 Enabler application included with System 7.5. See ŇUsing Type 1 fonts with QuickDraw GXÓ in the System 7.5 Upgrade Guide for information about installing the Type 1 Enabler. Ą QuickDraw GX includes ATM 3.7 (ATMŞ GX). ATM 3.9 is backwards compatible with ATM 3.7, and supports QuickDraw GX. The ATM 3.9 Installer will automatically replace ATM 3.7. Ą Type 1 fonts appear as Geneva when displaying a character at a point size less than one half the size of the smallest bitmap available. For example, a font with a single 24 point bitmap would display Geneva at 11 points and lower. 9. SUPERATM ISSUES Ą ATM will only perform font substitution if you have the ATM Font Database which comes with SuperATM. The ATM Font Database which ships with Adobe Acrobat is for Acrobat only and will not enable font substitution. Ą SuperATM will not substitute for Macintosh system fonts. This includes Chicago, Geneva, and Monaco. Ą SuperATM will not substitute for missing fonts when Microsoft Word 5.0 or greater is opening a Microsoft Word 4.0 document. Ą SuperATM cannot substitute for missing fonts with Microsoft Word 4.0 if the user has run the Font Harmonizer utility included with Suitcase. The following applications do not support font substitution with SuperATM: Microsoft Works 3.0 MacWrite Pro 1.0v1 Aldus TypeStyler 2.0 Aldus Intellidraw 1.0 Aldus SuperPaint 3.0 Canvas 3.01 More 3.1 Frame 3.0 MacWrite II 1.1v2 Ventura Publisher 3.0.1 RagTime Lotus 1-2-3 1.0 Write Now 1.1a MacSchedule 2.5.5 ClarisWorks 1.0 Multi-Ad Creator 3.5 10. ADOBE ACROBAT ISSUES Ą ATM 3.9 is completely compatible with Adobe Acrobat 1.0. The ATM Installer will replace ATM 3.6.1 with version 3.9. The ATM Font Database and substitution fonts are still required. Ą If you experience ATM error -20 using Adobe Acrobat 1.0 with ATM 3.9, you should re-install Adobe Acrobat using your original disks. Error -20 means that the ATM Font Database and the substitution fonts are out of sync. For example, the ATM Font Database was drag-copied from Adobe Acrobat 2.0, but the substitution fonts (AdobeSansX and AdobeSerif) were acquired from Adobe Acrobat 1.0. Re-installing versions 1.0 or 2.0 of Acrobat will fix this problem. 11. ATM INSTALLER ISSUES Ą Easy Install will install ATM with only the driver appropriate to your Macintosh. For example, if you have a Macintosh IIci, Easy Install will only install ATM with the 68030/030/040 driver. If you have a PowerMacintosh, Easy Install will only install ATM with the PowerPC driver. Choose Custom Install if you want to install ATM with more than one driver (for example, if you boot from an external hard drive which you will move from a IIci to a PowerMacintosh). Ą ATM has a new icon. If you are upgrading from a previous version of ATM and still see the old icon associated with the Control Panel, rebuild your desktop. To rebuild your desktop, hold down the Command and Option keys when you reboot. Ą Do not lock the ATM Control Panel. To check whether the ATM Control Panel is locked, open the Control Panels folder, select the ~ATM_ Control Panel, and choose the Get Info command from the File menu in the Finder. The Locked checkbox should be unchecked. This will prevent problems if you cancel an installation in progress. Ą ATM's Installer is not compatible with MacsBug 6.5d6. Upgrade your copy of MacsBug or disable MacsBug before installing ATM. Ą The following ATM-related data files are now built into ATM and are removed by the Installer: ~ATM 68000, ~ATM 68020/030, ~ATM 68020/030/040, and multiple master INIT. Ą The Installer will not allow you to select System 7.0 aliases as a target volume. Ą The Installer will not allow you to install on a locked volume. This includes volumes that are password-protected with Silverlining. 12. FONT CREATOR ISSUES Ą The Font Creator cannot be launched if the ATM Control Panel is open. 13. MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES Ą To determine which environments are supported by the version of ATM installed, open the Control Panel and hold down the mouse button on the version number in the upper-right hand corner. This will display a series of codes corresponding to the key below: g = QuickDraw GX Support k = Kanji Support p = PowerMacintosh Support z = 68000 Support (Mac Plus, Mac SE, Mac Portable, Mac PowerBook 100) 2 = 68020, 68030, 68040 Support (Mac II series and newer) Ą ATM 3.9 is now compatible with the Abaton FaxModem fax software. 14.
