In addition to Dominic's comments, are both the .pfm and associated 
.pfb files in the same folder that you're installing from?

There are MANY older Type 1 font files, including some from reputable 
quality vendors, that XP balks at. They can often be repaired by 
passing them through something like Transtype or FontLab (just opening 
them and saving them). There are some fonts whose names need to be 
changed because of length or the presence of invalid characters.
