PostScrpit Fonts do not appear in PDFs

I am using ATM 4.1 (patched) with Windows XP and I have the latest
PostScript Printer Driver installed.

My workflow usually involves authoring books with Adobe Framemaker 6
and using Distiller 6 to "Save Book As..." PDF.

The problem is that regardless of how I create the source document, or
how I distill it, PostScript fonts are not displayed in the resulting
PDF. I have tried copying all contents of the PDF and pasting to
notepad, but there really is no text at all: only graphics and TrueType
fonts. Even when I look at document properties for the PDF, only the
fonts that are visible are in the "Fonts" list.

I have tried "uninstalling" the fonts with ATM and even removing them
from disk then recopying them and "reinstalling" them.

Everything else is the same as it was when the process used to work
properly: Distiller joboptions file points to the correct font
locations, "embed all fonts" selected.

All I can think is that this is a problem specifically with PS
fonts--It used to work fine and I can't figure out what changed. (I
even tried uninstalling ALL adobe products from the PC and reinstalling
and reconfiguring).

Any ideas as to what might be wrong or where I can perhaps find more
information?
