stupid Mac question

recently did a clean install on one of my startup drives; all’s good except for the following message on startup:
“substitution fonts for Acrobat and ATM Deluxe are damaged. Please replace with originals...” or something very similar.
does any one know where these fonts reside and how I may identify them? I know where fonts are in the system folder, but i don’t know how to locate these specifically. I’m assuming the message is valid and the fonts are corrupted. running OS 8.6.
Thank you,
COCO

The fonts are called "Adobe Sans MM" and "Adobe Serif MM". They live in the fonts folder in your system folder. ATM substitutes them for fonts that can't be found (e.g., if you open a document that calls for fonts no longer installed). You can get new copies just by reinstalling Acrobat or ATM, I think.

Thank you, thank you, Tim. I"ll dump them now. I think I can get Acrobat Reader very easily, but where can I get ATM?
Thanks again,

Just got them both from the Adobe site. I downloaded the free ATM "light".
