FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
- ▶ Why don’t my PostScript fonts show up on my computer?
-
Chances are, you are using a system which requires that Adobe Type Manager (ATM) be installed to use PostScript fonts. See the installation guide appropriate to your system for more information.
- ▶ How come I was able to install a PostScript font on my Windows NT 4.0 system without ATM?
-
Windows NT 4.0 can read PostScript fonts without ATM, but unfortunately it still can’t use them. Instead, NT uses its built-in PostScript to TrueType converter to make a low-quality TrueType font for screen display and printing. At this point, you can effectively use the font, but please realize that you’re using the low-quality TrueType conversion and not the original, high-quality PostScript font.
