Hello,

I assume this bug is about missing atmlib, refining summary.
Affects several Adobe products.

Some information:

"Adobe Type Manager (ATM) API"

http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/ps/sdk/index_archive.html#atmapi

Describes the external interface, types ...

The originator of this library seems to be Adobe but this library is also
distributed by Microsoft?

'winetricks atmlib' pulls the library from W2KSP4_EN.EXE

I found an old patch "[PATCH] atmlib: add stub dll" from Austin here:

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2009-February/073130.html

Even with the external API prototypes documented, the internals are most likely
proprietary and subject to patents/IP.
IMHO this is never going to be implemented in Wine.

I suggest to close this as WONTFIX and direct people to resolve the missing
dependency using 'winetricks atmlib'.

Regards
