ATM Deluxe is a font manager that allows fonts outside of the system
fonts folder available to the system. That, and it is the rasterizer
for Type 1/OpenType CFF fonts on the Mac. It uses fonts Type 1 fonts
made available via POST resources, as as well as sfnt bundled Type 1
fonts (QuickDraw GX enabled fonts) and OpenType/CFF fonts. I hope that
helps...
I am going to get a copy of CodeWarrior, so I will be able to help out
with stuff...
