System 7/7.1 Font Confusion

We have been struggling the last few days trying to sort out problems with
fonts in the System 7.0/Mac IIci and System 7.1/Mac IIvi work stations in
the Graphics Department of the University.

The problems are varied depending on what fonts we're trying to load.  For
example the Courier typeface supplied by ATM when loaded through the install
mode of ATM is place into the "Extensions" folder in the "Systems" while the
other three typefaces "Helvetica, Times, ?" go into the "Systems" folder. 
The "Helvetica" typeface will display in Adobe Illustrator 3.2 but will not
print on our Laserwriter.  Adobe 'stand-alone' typeface packages that we own
also react differently.  The "Math" typeface we own displays and prints
without a problem, but the "Goudy" typeface will neither display or print!

The problems go on and on.  We are working with all Type 1 faces but have
the Cassidy & Green boxed set of typefaces with both Adobe fonts and Trutype
fonts.  We haven't started to load these yet since we're having problems
with the basic set.

Can anyone enlighten me to a source for "font" talk for the MAC and does
anyone have any info/experiences that could help me!

Desperate!!
