You're in SF, right? Did you email them some time after this past Friday morning? Then wait for tomorrow night before panicking and doing desperate things like reading manuals. :-)

I emailed them right after I downloaded the demo, which was last Monday, I believe. Perhaps now that I am a licensed user I could nudge them again.

But the real question is ... how did you know where I'm located?

A whole week (so far), wow - atypical.

> how did you know where I'm located?

I pay attention.
As John Cleese's barrister character would have inquisited: "You *do* work for MvB Design, is that correct?"

BTW, by some coincidence (this being your first [independently verifiable] public post that I personally remember) just yesterday I got the 5th issue of that m.real magazine*, and for the first time saw your Atma in [print] action: pretty elegant, but not overly cold (just the descenders I find a bit too long - a problem for economy). I especially like the fact that you're included "hybrid" figures and multiple sizes of caps (except maybe 3 sizes is enough - few people even notice this stuff anyway).

It's square (which is nice), and printed on too-fancy paper (not nice), and the previous issue was called "Black and White" - right up my alley. The current issue is all color photos - deathly boring.

Atma has problems. *cough*bigproblems. Don't look too close. I have customized versions that fix many of the more obvious issues (is that a violation of the license agreement? Oh wait, I'm not licensed). But hey, there's nothing like quantity to make up for quality.

Yes, I'm at MvB. Mark has the typographic super-smarts, so things I've done since Atma have been better.

Atma has no more problems than most other fonts we see plastered all over.

> is that a violation of the license agreement? Oh wait, I'm not licensed

Well, you do have a contract with FontFont, I presume.
And I suspect you can't like just respace the thing and start reselling it yourself, right?

No, I was kidding about the license thing. I just have it customized for me. And I only have the Book weights installed, the others are not my type. (heh)

Position of the LSB will not change if you have a "custom" zoom level. This is true only for FontLab 4.5/Mac.

Thank you! That was the answer I was looking for. Would it be possible to include this as an optional feature? That is, include the option to have it turned on all the time?
