The three magic words Adobe Type Manager come to mind. It's the way to add PS 
fonts to the Windows font list. If you just want the PS fonts to appear as 
printer fonts and are prepared to accept Windows munging, say, Palatino to Book 
Antiqua on the display, make sure a PostScript printer is installed (eg, Apple 
LaserWriter Plus on FILE: with ADSC enabled).
