A few questions remain:

- Why use the postscript fonts & ATM, why not just use a TrueType font and
no extra software?
- One of our printers is a non-postscript printer; will a postscript font
(with ATM) work on this and will it look the same as the others?
- Do the postscript/ATM and the TrueType Palatino fonts on the Mac look
(very) different, or are they the same?
