I never have used WinEDT.<br>
I have not "given up on" Y&Y. Rather, I use it jointly with PCTeX,
which is a great system. I usually compile with Y&Y, because I have
better control over dealing with warnings than with PCTeX, but PCTeX
does everything else better than Y&Y. DVIWindo is very fast, but it
does not display figures in the dvi file.<br>

1) When I attempt to invoke DVIwindow from WinEDT, I get the message<br>
"Too Many TT Fonts installed", and it won't run. I do have lots of<br>
fonts, largely from some Broderbund software. There are way too many<br>
of these to uninstall by hand, and I do use that other software. Is<br>
this some built-in limitation of dviwindo? Am I dead in the water?</blockquote>

I don't use Vista, but I will try to make some suggestions that might
help you<br>
or not. <br>
<br>
I believe that the TT-font related message is produced by WinEdt. The
version<br>
you are using is quite old, perhaps not even the WinEdt32. I think the
old<br>
versions of Windows programs had a limit on the number of fonts they
could<br>
handle.<br>

When I double-click the WinEDT (v. 1.414) icon, sometimes nothing<br>
happens, but it always loads when I double-click a .tex file icon. Is<br>
this a Vista "thing"? Would it be helpful to get a more recent version<br>
of WinEdt?</blockquote>
<div><br>
I believe so. The most recent version is 5.4, I believe. <br>

Herb Gintis mentions not to use ATM but he does indicate that he<br>
has .pfm files. Where did these come from, since they're no on the
Y&Y<br>
distribution CD. To my knowledge, Vista can use Type 1 fonts without<br>
.pfm files, and the installed Type 1 fonts do show up and display in<br>
the Vista Fonts folder and (at least some of them) in some other apps.</blockquote>

I got them from CTAN, as I originally only purchased Lucida and Times
from<br>
Y&Y.<br>

Should I give up on Y&Y and try MikTeX or PCTex?<br>
</blockquote>
</div>
<br>
Maybe we all should... but MikTeX and PCTeX are still a lot worse than
my Y&Y.<br>
I have made copies of the installation CD and will hold on to it as
long as I can,<br>
but the ranks are thinning quickly.<br>
