Usually ATM (Adobe Type Mangler) has .PFB & PFM extensions.

AFAIK:-  the file extensions are PFM and AFM - there are two files for each
font.  One is the screen font and the other is the printer font.
ATM is Adobe Type Manager - I thought it was a standard part of Win 3.1 but
cannot check - both the Mac and OS/2 use Adobe fonts and WinOS/2 includes
ATM.

Windows fonts usually have two files .FON and .TTF but the filenames
may not have any relationship with the font name.

If you can get a network connection between the two machines the
easiest way is to use add font on the machine without them and
point it at the windows\system directory of the other when it asks
for the font disk. This will give you a list of fonts to choose from.

 "Does anyone know what filename extension [these ATM font files] use ?
 "One of the fonts is called 'Minister Black'.  
 
The extension may be .PFB

If you have a program to do this you could try searching for a file
CONTAINING the text "Minister" (ignoring case).

Nope, the poor sods've gotta *pay* for it... <giggle>

While here I am with ATM and FreeType, both, er, free...
(Well, FreeType doesn't work in OS/2 2.11 AFAIK but it's still free.)
