[texworks] Get error when compilating a document.

[Charles Nix]

Guess you can tell that you don't have a font (psyr) correctly 
installed--either not installed at all, or installed in an unexpected place.

Searching similar errors on stackexchange and other places shows that a 
common cause is not installing the "symbol" package.

I'm a texlive on linux user, so am not familiar with installation 
locations of MiKTeX on Windows, but perhaps this will point you in the 
right direction.
