> 1. Paragraph Designer lists available fonts by name, but how to know if they're Postscript or TrueType?

You can't tell from Paragraph Designer. You need to look at your 
installed fonts in Control Panel > Fonts.

> 2. How to ensure that Framemaker can access all installed fonts? My psfonts folder includes:

Framemaker (and all the other programs on your computer) can access 
nothing but all of your (properly) installed fonts. There's not a way to 
make installed fonts inaccessible.

> GDI_____.PFB

Just because you have a font in your psfonts folder doesn't mean it's 
installed. If Adobe Garamond Italic shows in Control Panel > Fonts, it's 
installed. If you View Details, you should be able to see if 
GDI_____.PFM is really Adobe Garamond Italic. Note that properly 
installed Type 1 fonts will show the PFM in Control Panel > Fonts, not 
the PFB (although both are really there).

> 3. If a TrueType and Postscript font have the same name, what does Framemaker do?

I'm not sure what Frame does, but you should try really hard to avoid 
this situation. It can cause some strange things to happen, like you can 
use the font, but when you print Courier gets substituted. Again, go to 
Control Panel > Fonts and look through the list. If you have two fonts 
of the same name, you should remove one. This most often happens with 
Symbol, which comes in Truetype (with MS Office) and Type 1 (with older 
Adobe products).

If you've really installed a font (through Control Panel > Fonts) but it 
doesn't show in Frame (and you've already made sure you don't have two 
with the same name installed), try deleting the font, rebooting, and 
then installing it. Before you delete it, make sure you have the font on 
its original media so you can install it again.
