ARCHIVED: What is Adobe Type Manager?

Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is a font management tool available for both Mac OS and Windows, and produced by Adobe. The freeware version, ATM Light, smoothes the on-screen appearance of Type 1 and OpenType fonts, and performs font substitution when documents require fonts that aren't installed. This ensures that fonts look good on screen and in print, even on non-PostScript printers.

You may download ATM Light at the following URL (registration is required):

http://www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/index.html

Note: PostScript font support is built directly into Mac OS X and Windows 2000 and XP; therefore, ATM isn't necessary for basic font usage. ATM Light is required for all other versions of Mac OS, including Mac OS X Classic, as well as for previous versions of Windows. It is also required for Windows 2000 if you use Adobe's multiple master typefaces and want to create custom fonts.

A commercial version of the program, ATM Deluxe, expands upon ATM Light's capabilities. For more information about ATM and Adobe's other font utilities, visit the Adobe Type Library page.
