Hi Bill, Oh yes, my font installations are mainly PostScript, and I am using ATM 3.02 which is the one that works in Win 3.1 and Win 95, and the only version compatible with VirtualPC and Win 3.1. Otis bought for me Ares Fontminder, which is the best font manager for Win 3.1. I have used and still use Ares Fontmonger for converting fonts, but somehow I did not see the point of Fontminder in the early '90s when it was readily available. Adobe bought Ares, which had great technology, but retired all their stuff. Some were simply too powerful for a company that sells fonts, like Font Chameleon (have a peek at: http://vimeo.com/14758983). Ares Fontminder handles Type 1 and TrueType equally well. I am looking forward to using this software. Thanks to Otis!

I'm just curious, Kari, will you be managing PostScript fonts? As far as I know, Adobe still makes versions of ATM Light available for free from their website. But I would have thought that if font management was an important issue, you'd want to be on Windows 95? ATM Deluxe was the first font manager on any platform that was either usable or reliable . . . but it sadly only reached perfection on Mac OS 8/9, and then external product development was stopped. (Internal product development continued and continues, however: the product was stealth-incorporated into Adobe's major software products.) |
