PCTeX supports Type1 and TrueType. Checking the fonts installed in
PCTeX it seems we have tio and tir as "Builtin
PostScript".<br><br>

don't know. Vista refused to load them, and several months ago I
complained to PCTeX that they didn't include them. Technical support
there said: "The ti fonts seem to be old Y&Y times
fonts... These fonts may be difficult to install in PCTeX (or in
any modern TeX distribution). You can check the Y&Y support
list to see if anyone has solved this problem

had overlooked their suggestion to add PSFONTS=....... to dviwindo.ini,
the installation would not have worked. I can't remember what else I was
