Officially, Adobe does not support FrameMaker 5.5.6 under Windows XP.

Also, ATM is irrelevant to the discussion (unless you had some ancient
version of ATM installed that would somehow interfere). Both Windows XP
and Windows 2000 have built-in Type 1 font support.

The symptoms you report sound like a problem that occurred under
Windows NT 4 with FrameMaker 5.5.x versions earlier than 5.5.6.
No problems with FrameMaker 5.5.6 have been reported matching what
you describe either under Windows 2000 or XP (both are quite similar
in terms of internals and how they handle fonts and printing).
Are you sure you are really using 5.5.6 and not some earlier version
of 5.5.x?

The next question then is about fonts. Exactly where did you get
the Type 1 Helvetica and Helvetica Condensed that you are using
(assuming that they are Type 1)? Is it possible that you "converted"
some Mac Type 1 fonts? The problem really seems like an encoding
issue.
