Make a complete minimal example that demonstrates your problem. It would
be also a good idea if you said what application is giving the " font
yfrak (yfrak-Regular: file 'yfrak.pfb') not found" messages.  As you say
you can use your font with LaTeX: Make also a latex example and sent it
together with the log of the pdflatex run (pdf!!).
