Interesting, I haven't had any problems with ATM under WinNT or Win2K at
all... I do know that there is a W9x and an WinNT version of ATM...

CAUTION: Avoid Type1 fonts with NT. If you have them installed, they will
make flash crash intermittently, even if you don't use them. ATM is good for
managing fonts (previewing and activating) but not necessary. You can still
install fonts the old fashioned way (through the Control Panel).

(I think) if you use bitmap fonts, you have to use them in a text field to
preserve aliasing (I assume that's why you want to use them). I'm not sure
of any other issues.

Justin
