How do you manually install Type 1 fonts for PM.
I already have a directory with .PFB, .AFM, .PFM files
(which were installed for ATM under Windows 3.1).

The PM font installation seems to want to copy the
files from a source directory to a target directory.
1. Does it work if source directory = target directroy? I.e.,
   is PM font installer smart enough to realize that the
   fonts are "already there".
2. Where does PM record the Type 1 fonts that it knows
   about. Hidden somewhere in an .INI file??

Thanks for any help you can give.
