Errors When ATM Is Installed in Windows\Fonts Folder

ID: Q132925

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

If you install Adobe Type Manager (ATM) to the Windows\Fonts folder, you will receive the following error message when you start the ATM Control Panel (Atmcntrl.exe):

Invalid Fonts Directory

No fonts are displayed and you must choose another folder.

CAUSE

The Windows\Fonts folder is not a normal folder. This folder has a system attribute that cannot be modified. The ATM installation program can set up ATM in this folder, but ATM does not function correctly from this folder.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, remove the ATM fonts from the Windows\Fonts folder, remove the Atm.ini file from the Windows folder, and then install ATM again. Choose a folder other than the Windows\Fonts folder for the installation.
