i am trying to correct the problem of "blocky
bitmaps" in quark by installing atm lite 4.6.2

as i understand it i have to do this because quark
runs in classic mode and therefore needs atm to
render fonts that are of other sizes than the screen
fonts in the suitcase

i have downloaded atm lite from adobe.com and
ran the installer but it doesn't seem to do anything
after i have run through the installer options to
install it to the hd

is this a known problem or am i doing something
wrong? i have closed all applications before
installing and rebooted several times as well as
downloading the atm lite a few times

thanks

ATM Lite very likely either 1) doesn't work in Classic or 2) needs to be installed whilst booted into OS 9.

Hrmmm...just a question for your boss, or whomever was responsible for the purchase of this Mac:

Why was a machine purchased that *only* runs OS X when the purchaser knew *ahead of time* that Quark wouldn't run in OS X but would rely on Classic? If the purchaser was primarily concerned with running Quark, why didn't he/she buy one of the older-model G4s that Apple is still selling that *only* have OS 9 on them, for the sole purpose of doing stuff in Quark, quite possibly the most overrated page-layout program in existence?
