i am not using pm, but this looks like non-unicode app with unicode 
font... try WGL Assistant v1.1 / The Multilingual Font Manager
http://wgl.typ.pl/

quote from their web site:
"WGL Assistant allows convenient use of the multilingual TrueType fonts 
(Unicode fonts/WGL4 fonts) in all MS Windows applications, including 
non-Unicode applications. It is suitable for use with Microsoft Windows 
95/98/ME/NT 4.0/2000."

now i am using only unicode aware apps & unicode otf's so i dont have 
that problem any more, but WGL really works fine.

regards,

vladimir
