Adobe Type Manager (ATM) was the name of a family of computer programs created and marketed by Adobe Systems for use with their PostScriptType 1 fonts. The last release was Adobe ATM Light 4.1.2, per Adobe's FTP (at the time).[1]
Modern operating systems such as Windows and MacOS have built-in support for PostScript fonts, negating the need for Adobe's 3rd party utility.
Apple Macintosh[edit]
The original ATM was created for the Apple Macintosh computer platform to scale PostScript Type 1 fonts for the computer monitor, and for printing to non-PostScript printers. Mac Type 1 fonts come with screen fonts set to display at certain point sizes only. In Macintosh operating systems prior to Mac OS X, Type 1 fonts set at other sizes would appear jagged on the monitor. ATM allowed Type 1 fonts to appear smooth at any point size, and to print well to non-PostScript devices.
Around 1996, Adobe expanded ATM into a font-management program called ATM Deluxe; the original ATM was renamed ATM Light. ATM Deluxe performed the same font-smoothing function as ATM Light, but performed a variety of other functions: activation and deactivation of fonts; creating sets of fonts that could be activated or deactivated simultaneously; viewing and printing font samples; and scanning for duplicate fonts, font format conflicts, and PostScript fonts missing screen or printer files.
Around 2001, with Apple's Mac OS X, support for Type 1 fonts was built into the operating system using ATM Light code contributed by Adobe. ATM for Mac was then no longer necessary for font imaging or printing.
Adobe discontinued development of ATM Deluxe for Macintosh after Apple moved to Mac OS X. Adobe ceased selling ATM Deluxe in 2005.[citation needed] ATM Deluxe does not work reliably under OS X (even under Classic), however, ATM Light is still helpful to Type 1 font users under Classic.
Microsoft Windows[edit]
Adobe ported these products to the Microsoft Windows operating system platform, where they managed font display by patching into Windows (3.0, 3.1x, 95, 98, Me) at a very low level. The design of Windows NT made this kind of patching unviable, and Microsoft initially responded by allowing Type 1 fonts to be converted to TrueType on install, but in Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft added 'font driver' support to allow ATM to provide Type 1 support (and in theory other font drivers for other types).[citation needed]
As with ATM Light for Macintosh, Adobe licensed to Microsoft the core code, which was integrated into Windows 2000 and Windows XP, making ATM Light for Windows obsolete, except for the special case of support for 'multiple master' fonts, which Microsoft did not include in Windows, and for which ATM Lite still acts as a font driver.[citation needed]
ATM Light is still available for Windows users,[2] but ATM Deluxe is no longer developed or sold.[3]
Users of ATM 4.0 (Light or Deluxe) on Windows 95/98/ME who upgrade to Windows 2000/XP may encounter problems, and it is vital not to install version 4.0 into Windows 2000 or later; affected users are encouraged to visit the Adobe web site for technical information and patches. Version 4.1.2 is fully compatible with Windows 2000 and XP (It will run on XP 64-bit, but because the installer doesn't work it must be first installed on 32-bit XP and then copied over to 64-bit XP).
ATM installed on XP may prevent a system from entering standby - the error message indicates keyboard driver needs updating. Uninstalling ATM corrects the issue.
Windows Vista is incompatible with both ATM Light and ATM Deluxe.[citation needed] Windows Vista can use Adobe Type 1 fonts natively, making add-ons like ATM unnecessary.

The latest version of ATM for Windows 3.1 is 3.02. There was no ATM Deluxe for Windows versions prior to 95.
Acrobat Reader, starting with version 2.1, installs a version of ATM for its own use, referred to as a Portable Font Server, but there is no control panel or other user interface for it.[4] It is therefore unsuitable for the tasks which most people need to install ATM for.
Other operating systems[edit]
Adobe Type Manager was also made available for a select few PC operating systems available during the early 1990s, including NeXTSTEP,[5]DESQview,[6][7] and OS/2.[8][9] Unlike the Windows and Mac versions, these versions of ATM were bundled with the OS itself.
There were also ATM versions for extremely popular DOS applications, the most notable being WordPerfect5.0 and 5.1.[citation needed] This incarnation of ATM, made by LaserTools was named PrimeType in the United States and Adobe Type Manager for WordPerfect elsewhere.[10] An alternative to ATM for WordPerfect 5.1 was infiniType Plus by SoftMaker.[11]WordPerfect 6.0 and newer included its own Type 1 system, making third-party solutions obsolete.

With this version, X-Fonter is now setting the standard for versatility, utility, and features. Well worth purchase, since you won't need to look elsewhere.

X-Fonter covers all the bases when fonts are concerned. The main functionality of this program is to manage your fonts (install, uninstall, load, unload, compare, preview).
Just like any decent font manager, X-Fonter supports all font types (TrueType, OpenType, Postscript Type 1, Raster, Vector).
But what makes this product really stand out from the rest, is the intuitive and user-friendly interface. It doesn't matter whether you're a newbie or a pro, with X-Fonter you can get the job done.
Finding the right font is often a difficult task, but X-Fonter makes this job easy for you. You can create your own color schemes and use your own preview text. There's a character map included for both ASCII and Unicode, so you can easily find out how a specific character looks, or whether that specific character is included in a font.
Additionally, this font manager also allows you to make nice 3D graphics (transparent GIF supported) that you can use for your webpages, emails and much more... The image editor includes some nice effects, like shadows, gradient colors, outlines and blurring.
This new version of X-Fonter lets you manage your fonts by creating collections that you can define yourself. This gives you full control over yourfonts and makes working with them a lot easier.

Hi Peter,
I'm taking this opportunity to congratulate you with X-Fonter.
As a graphic designer it has already proven to me countless services for font selection.
Before X-Fonter it was a nightmare.
Keep up the good works!
-- Jan Roose
Im really used to x-fonter. it's really simple, very powerful and reliable.'

Hi, I searched for font managers online using Google. Tried a few and found your software the easiest and feature rich. Thank you
-- Jitin Sipahimalani
I've used X-Fonter for years - since the early version 3's or maybe even2'something - and even after this rather prolonged trial period, I haven'tfound anything that equals it - many programs I've tried do this and that,but
not all, and not the way I want it. So here's one happy customer fromDenmark !
-- Kim N. Jensen (Denmark)
There must be a zillion and one font utilities, but Blacksun's X-Fonter stands out. Especially useful for making images for webpages and other types of presentation.
-- Bob In Houston
Your program is awesome! I?ve been looking for such program since Adobe Type Manager was discontinued.
I have to say this is the best purchase I?ve made this year.
Thanks a lot.
-- Dariusz Gluchowski (www.Artvido.com)
I have to complement you on X-Fonter. I have been using Bittstream Font Navigator for years, but the lack of updates and support for outline type fonts became a problem.
Over the past week, I have downloaded and installed every font management program I could find that
appeared to fit my needs. I have to say, X-Fonter has them all beat by a mile. I have no interest in the graphic creation part of X-Fonter, but the font management capabilities are very well done. It is a very well written piece of software.
Thank you,Bill
-- Bill
I used X-Fonter for just a couple of hours before deciding to register. It's the best utility of it's kind I've ever used. I might just uninstall Adobe Type Manager Deluxe (which hasn't been updated in a VERY long time)
because your application provides much more information about my fonts.
Best regards, and thanks again for an excellent piece of software.

I just discovered your X-Fonter.
LOVE the clear font previews. I've been using The Font Thing. All the difference in the world.
