This will be very kind of you! :-)
I have looked through ATM Deluxe fonts (Miriad, Minion, etc. ), and while 
their hinting is more sofisticated than in Adobe Times and Helvetica fonts 
bundled with previous versions of ATM, there is no indication of special 
hinting procedures for diagonal stems.
Do you have any link to Adobe site with corresponding information?
