Adobe Type Manager, anyone?

#1 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 - 17:25 68kMLA

So I finally got a nice collection of Macintosh Type 1 fonts for use on my future 68K "Productivity Box" and I just realized: 68K-compatable versions Adobe Type Manager seems to be unavailable online. 2.0.3 is around, but it's so old that it might have problems with newer programs... If anybody were to have a copy of 3.8.x or 3.9.x, I would be quite happy indeed.

Is there anything that you can't get from the free ATM version that shipped with Acrobat Reader? What about other font managers, such as Suitcase?

The main thing is the ability to use PostScript fonts with programs other than Acrobat without relying on bitmaps...

ATM 3.8.2:

ATM Light 4.6, probably PPC only:

Yup. 4.6 is PPC only, as it needs at least 8.6, which is a PPC-only OS.

Grr. That 3.8.3 link does not get along with my internet - either at home or at school or at work. There must be something odd about the way the FTP server is set up.

You have to access it through an FTP client, not a browser.

But...Mac Hut has it now...

I tried it with an FTP client. It just got stuck at "Entering Passive Mode" Anyways, I managed to find a complete copy of a certain big-ticket image editor that had been broken on your site. It included ATM 3.9.something. PM me with a place to upload to if you'd like the whole package for the Hut...

There was ATM for windows 3.0 before TTF support was added in 3.1

Actually, there was ATM for Windows up until Windows 2000, which added native support for PostScript to Windows finally...
