Yes. All of the above. :) In particular I think it has to do with the WP 
and Bistream version changes. I assume your new fonts are Bitstream True 
Type.  First step in fixing the problem is to reload your Facelift disks. 
If they have the Bitstream diamond, you should be able to load them into 
\BTFONTS and install them in WP6 as Speedo fonts. That will help. :)
