Get TT version of your fonts. If you can't/wont buy them, you can  
convert them yourself.
There are dozens of tools around for doing just that. Some  
commercial, some free.
I'm a Mac user, so I don't know any specific tools for Windows to do  
the job, but they're out there. Search the net for 'postscript  
truetype convert windows free download'

That should get you started...!

This is a political/technical/economical decision made by FMI...
It was probably too expensive to continue support for PS fonts, when  
everyone is moving away from these in favor of OpenType (which can  
contain either TrueType og PostScript encoded font definitions)

Good luck with your project
