First, I recommend that you post your question over in the ATM/Type or PostScript forum where those experts might be able to shed some light on this issue.  

That said, first be sure that the RIP is running current drivers and firmware, and that it is correctly configured.  

There is no inherent reason why a current-vintage genuine PostScript RIP should not be able to rasterize any properly created, non-corrupted PS (including MM), TT, or OT font. However, there may be some issue with some PS-clone RIPs that are not properly programmed. This is q problem with the RIP; not the font.  

Another thought: be aware that if the fonts are prior to, say, 1993 in their modified date, they may need upgrading from Adobe. Also try reinstalling the fonts from the original Adobe foundry media. 

 Thanks. 

Neil
