Adobe Releases ATM Deluxe 4.6 with Type Reunion 2.6

Following the earlier release of Adobe Type Manager Light 4.6 (see "ATM Light 4.6 Adds OpenType" in TidBITS 538), Adobe has released ATM Deluxe 4.6, which now includes Type Reunion 2.6. ATM Deluxe provides the same font smoothing features found in the free Light product, and also includes the ability to activate and deactivate font sets in lieu of storing font files in the System Folder. Version 4.6 adds support for displaying OpenType fonts and now includes online help. Abode Type Reunion heirachically organizes font families in menus, making it easier to locate and select variations of a single face (like bold, italic, or condensed versions of Helvetica). The update is free to registered users of ATM Deluxe 4.5 and later or Type Reunion 2.5 or later; otherwise, the software costs $49 for owners of previous versions of ATM Deluxe, or $65 for a new license. Both programs require Mac OS 8.1 or later, 16 MB RAM for ATM Deluxe or 8 MB RAM for Type Reunion. The download is a hefty 28.9 MB, which also includes 15 PostScript fonts.
