I'm sorry to contradict, but ATM is NOT for installation at all on
Win2000/XP machines -- only for organising the fonts. So at this
point, I'd suggest keeping ATM out of the discussion. Also, I'd
suggest reviewing past mail messages to check whether it's lite that's
recommended -- or really contra-indicated -- for XP ;-) I forget. But
I don't believe ATM has anything to add at this point.

Agreed. The .tfm fonts have to have the same encoding -- texnansi, for
most of us -- as the PFB/PFM files. And I'd say that generating .tfm
files within DVIWindo is not only very easy (just button clicks) but
also the safest way to ensure that they've got the right encoding.
