There ain't no such thing.  Do you know what you're talking about?

To answer the original question, yes, you can use the same fonts
(Adobe Type 1 PFB format) for windows atm, winos2 atm, and os/2 atm
(and the various ports of gnu ghostscript, for that matter).  One
difference is that you need the corresponding .afm (adobe font metric)
files for OS/2 atm, while win atm and winos2 atm look for .pfm files
(ghostscript doesn't use font metric files).  You can obtain most of
the .afm files you need from ps-file-server@adobe.com (this is a mail
server.  Send a message that says "help" to get help).
