A great font manager [Posted on 2000-10-15] Adobe Type Manager is one of those classic Macintosh programs which allows you to turn on and off fonts on the fly, as well as print out samples. It fixes a few minor bugs in version 4.6 (such as non-activation of some fonts) and makes it fully compatable with Mac OS 9.x. Identifying Postscript & truetype fonts is also a breeze.
Faded Glory [Posted on 2006-06-30] I've used ATM Deluxe since it first appeared. It was great under OS 9.
But Adobe decided not to update it for use with OS X, and under Classic in OS X it's a dud. If I'm in Classic and want to add or remove fonts, ATM runs so slowly as to be virtually useless. Luckily, my G4 can be rebooted in OS 9 native, so that's what I do to make Classic font changes.
ATM also slows the opening of my Classic environment. It takes about one minute for Classic to initialize with ATM Deluxe activated.
I've had more trouble over the years with ATM Deluxe and/or Type Reunion. From time to time one or the other becomes corrupted and wreaks havoc with my computer's entire performance. Reinstalling is the only solution.
Unfortunately, there are few alternatives to ATM in Classic.
Mac G4 867 MB, 1 GB RAM, OS X 10.3.9, OS 9.2.2.
