Installing PostScript fonts on OS 9 or below using ATM

Before installing your fonts, quit all open applications.

1) After obtaining and installing ATM, launch the program. The ATM rasterizer is neccessary for smoothing out the PostScript fonts and preventing them from bitmapping.

2) Make sure the ATM Rasterizer is "on", and make sure "Smooth Font Edges on Screen" is "on".

Font Files

3) Locate the fonts that you want to install. PostScript fonts will be split into three files, a screen font (.suit), a printer font (PS) and an .AFM file, which we will not be using.

7) Highlight and drag the screen font (the suitcase icon with the "A" on it) and printer font ( but not the .AFM file) into the Fonts folder.

Printer and Screen Fonts

8) Verify that both the printer and screen fonts are visible in the Fonts folder.

Note: If you do not see the postscript fonts listed in the menu right away, then you need to restart your computer.
