Font problems
OK, now we're talking my language. There are 3 kinds of fonts used in the printing world (weather to a laserjet, inkjet or for commercial offset printing). The oldest and maybe original is the "True Type" (.TTF) a single file that contains not only the code for monitor display but also the variations such as "bold", "italic", etc. and the information need to print the cahracter. The second is the "PostScript" type 1 font that is a 2 part system, the "Display" font file (the ones found in those little suitcases), and the "Printer" font that has the icon from whatever foundry owns the font. It is important to know that you can re-name the suitcase itself but not the file inside nor can you change the name of the printer font, and both files must be in the same folder to work properly. Tha names are base on a 5-3-3 naming structure, such that an font called Helvetica Bold would have the name HelveBol if it was Bold Italic it would read HelveBolobl, the obl standing for oblique the same as italic. The third font is the newest brought to you by our friends at Adobe called "OpenType" fonts and are the first cross compatible fonts on the market. They are a single file font and do have an extension .OTF.
If the fonts you are getting from your client are either .pfm or .pmb then you are looking at PC format Postscript fonts, if they have a .TTF they can be either. the ATM folders had something to do with PCs and I am a little scetching on the exact use of them since I have always just deleted those.
Also Check to make sure your client knows about fonts.
Good Luck, Sparky
