dvipsone: "Helvetica not found"

Thu Mar 4 18:00:17 CET 2004

Hi Jochen,

I believe that this is no problem as WinXP uses its own Type 1 font renderer. This is what I have found in a websearch:

The ATM Control Panel consists of a single program file: Atmfm.exe, located in the ATM program folder. The default location is X:\Program Files\Adobe Type Manager, where X is the drive where Windows NT is installed. When you install fonts using ATM, it stores this information in a file called Atmreg.atm, located in the Windows NT folder.

Thanks,
Frank
