I only can guess what your problem is, but maybe some hits are of value for you.
1. After installing a new font for ATM you have to enter the configure menu
   of your printer driver. WFW maintains its own fontlist for the various
   printer driver and you have to force an update.
2. ATM supports but only for fonts per fontfamily. Among them are
   Normal (Roman or Medium), Italic, Bold, Bolditalic.
   If your have Bookman, Demi, Condensed, Extrabold, etc., you may try the
   following workaround:
   Change the familyname in the PFB-File to a new one and
   change the familyname in the AFM-File (to be the same as above :-) ).
   Then you need to convert the AFM to the PFM-File (can be done with
   a PD progs named REFONT I mentioned in an earlier posting - if there
   is enough interest (and no objections), I will mail it to this group.

The AFM-Files can be downloaded from Adobe.

I don't have problems using a lot of Adobe type 1 Fonts from WFW, Excel,
Write, etc.

Hope that helps
