using ATM fonts w/ GS 2.5.2 on IBM PC

The FONTS.DOC file states that GS can deal with .PFB and .PFA files
directly.  I changed GS_LIB to point to the ATM directory for Desqview
X and added

/TM  (tir_____.pfb) ;

to Fontmap.

When I try to access the font (i.e. /TM findfont) I get:

Loading TM font from c:\dvx\...\atm\tir_____.pfb... 626416 605403 0 done.
Loading TM font failed, substituting Ugly.
Loading Ugly font from uglyr.gsf (etc...)

I tried other .pfb fonts from the directory, and also from another
machine with ATM for windows installed.  All recieved similar errors
(the numbers were the only differences).  I also tried renaming the
files (to get rid of underscores) and to place them in the normal GS
font directory.  All with the same results.  All of the GS fonts load
and work.

Any ideas??

I already have all those nice fonts on the machine, seems a waste to
not be able to using in GS as well. (Instead of the outlines based on
bitmaps that are included)

Did I miss something in the documentation??

Thanks..
