How does one register PostScript fonts? 

Here's the scenario.

Customer has added a W95 machine to an existing win95 network. In order
to transfer his Aldus Pagemaker 5.0 from an old PC to another we simply
installed Pagemaker (from original disks) and copied the data files
across the network.

All works fine EXCEPT for when we open files requiring a PS font which
is installed on the old machine and not on the new one.

We have copied the actual font files across and even put these files in
identically named directories.

Using "Add Fonts" in Control Panel, doesn't recognise them. 

I cannot find any useful reference to PS fonts in the Win95 Resource
Kit?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious!

TIA
