I use postscript (Type 1) fonts now due to having search/find problems
within PDF files using True Type fonts. If you use ATM, the Type 1
fonts will print to a non-postscript printer. I have 2 printer setups,
one postscript and one non-postscript. The information prints the same
on both, except it's sharper on the postscript. I didn't have to buy
any extra memory or a new printer to be able to print non-postscript
after I started using the new fonts.
