Summary:

When using Adobe Type Manager in conjunction with PowerPoint, you can obtain a much clearer screen font in the small point sizes (less than 8 point) by removing the SMALLx.FON screen font.

Note: x represents the display resolution being used (for example, A=CGA, B=EGA, E=VGA, F=8514).

ATM generates a small font that is more readable than the fonts provided by SMALLx.FON. However, if Adobe Type Manager detects that the SMALLx.FON is already loaded on the system, it will not create its own small screen font. ATM will only build the sharper font if it doesn’t find the SMALLx.FON installed.

More Information:

To remove the SMALLx.FON font:


 * 1) Go to the Control Panel.
 * 2) Select Fonts.
 * 3) Select the font.
 * 4) Select Remove.
