XP does not convert to truetype
ATM does not and never has converted to truetype.

Windows NT is/was the ONLY Microsoft operating system that converted 
T1 to truetype.

Are you sure that you didn't use an NT installation disk? Unless XP64 
has some old buried NT code in it that you've accidentally managed to 
unearth.

The problem shouldn't have anything to do with your dual boot system, 
unless somehow the two OS's aren't completely independent and are 
sharing some critical file or other, or your disk assignments somehow 
overlap or you forgot which OS you were on when or ... (just grasping 
at straws here).

Another remote possibility - the video driver problem referred to in 
another thread. The fix you applied to XP32 might be equally necessary 
with XP64.

Exactly which fonts have you tried and gotten what results with? 
Include the file names, the versions, etc. There are countless 
variations of 'Adobe Garamond', for instance.

"I read in the ATM readme that installing ATM Deluxe after Type 1 
fonts have been installed via Control Panel method would see ATM 
locate and find the Type 1 files assoc with the TT fonts that were made."

You are misreading that section. (2.2.1 of the ATM 4.1x readme).

What that says applies ONLY to Windows NT, and describes the actions 
taken IF you try to install a T1 with ATM when NT had previously 
installed a converted TT version of the same font.

"Sounds like windows creates TT and keeps Type 1 also on the system."
Again - only NT, and it keeps a backup copy of TT fonts that it 
removes/uninstalls/deactivates. No operating system knows what to do 
with two different identically named (internally) versions of the same 
font installed, regardless of format.
