You *are* using such a dll. It's called...
ATMLIB.DLL
Find out, what dll or application requires this system component, which clearly will never work under Wine.

Chances are very high that with every new function you implement even as stub you just run into the next missing export! Also a stub implementation may work for some functions, but more sooner than later you end up with really bad functionality in the caller.

This library looks to me like a full featured font type manager and then some. Does a full API description exist at all? How big are the chances, that implementing such a library will conflict sooner or later with patents of some sort? And you may be ending up reimplementing substantial parts of things Ghostscript or similar packages already do. Rolf Kalbermatter
