FM 5.x on Solaris comes with ATM (Adobe Type Manager).
To install new PostScript Type 1 fonts to be used in FM,
you should run ATI (Adobe Type Installer), which is included
on the Type On Call CD-ROM delivered with FM for UNIX.

See: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/931a.htm

If this doesn't work for some reason, you can still convert Mac
or PC Type 1 fonts and add them to FM the way you did for version
4 and earlier. If this is how you must do it, there is software
to help you out, instead of using the instructions in the old
Frame manuals.
