Make the non-Unicode encoded fonts unknown to XeTeX!

XeTeX (and fontspec) get the fonts needed via the system's "font  
service" while TeX locates them via a lookup in "hash" files which  
just reflect the state of directories in a particular corner of the  
disk, the TeX distribution's place of installation. TeX does not need  
to know the TTF and UTF font files, and XeTeX does not need to know  
which old PostScript font files are on the disk. So configure your  
system's "font service" in such a way that it does find the inadequate  
PostScript Type 1 and 3 font files.

In UNIX it's quite simple...

solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
