On the W2K/XP side of things, are you allowing XP to manage your fonts or do you have a Type Manager installed?

I'm trying to print a document in Greek language from Quark Xpress, in a virtual ps printer (ECRM Stingray, Linotronic 330, 530, 930, DDAPv3, Distiller) and then make a pdf from distiller, BUT... the fonts always get mess - they are not correctly embedding in the PDF and the 're substituted from the default font.
I'm using windows 2000 and XP, QuarkXpress 4.0 or 4.1, Acrobat 4.0. (Not 4.0.5) and Greek fonts (from UB and Magenta - which they are embeddable in windows 98 and in W2K and XP they can be embedded from illustrator (version 8,9,10) but when I try to make a pdf from the distiller -in some cases- the log file reports that "the font cannot be embedded due to licensing restrictions" - but in the extended font properties window from explorer, in the [Embedding] tab, the same font is reported as "Installable embedding allowed�).
I always check the font embedding settings
Printing in a windows98 environment is a solution that works but I'm trying to do the job in W2k and XP. Is there any idea???
P.S. - I 'm in the prepress industry in Greece for some years (7), and I know a few things for the difficulties of the procedure to make it print. I asked about that problem some other experienced people in press and prepress and I m always getting the same answer: dont make PS files in a W2K or XP system. Is that thing possible? Am I getting crazy?
P.S. 2 Im not asking for a direct, step-by-step answer. Is there any reference or source that I can find a guideline for that problem? From a quick research Ive made I think its a common problem in Greece.
