Aaarrrrrgggggg.........DOH! I'm a moron...

Well, I realized on of the other things that happened when I rolled back to pre-SP2, was my video drivers died. So, finally it dawned on my to take the basic troubleshooting step of VGA mode and boom, type 1 fonts installing again. Never believe the error message I suppose.

I haven't reinstalled ATM yet, but I might as well, now that I can remove it and restore the windows registry entries blindfolded.

Anyway, rolled my video drivers waaaayyyyyy back to the last set issued by HP for this machine, and those are working.
Some of the basics of the failure case:

NVIDIA Quadro FX2000 running Nvidia supplied drivers v.176.04_quadro_winxp2k_english_whql w/Dual LCDs at 1680x1050

Windows 2003 Server Standard SP2
HP XW8000 Workstation

The success case:
Same as above except NVIDIA drivers are HP supplied:
sp31860 - 72.13 Rev. B (7 Dec 2005).exe

Note to self, don't ever forget to try VGA first again....although I'm sure if another 9 years go by without it solving anything, I'll forget again.

PS: (no pun intended) ATMD 4.1 works fine now too).
