If CM fonts were not purchased with your copy of Y&Y TeX, good ones can be
downloaded for free from CTAN.

I have had no trouble installing and using them under at least 3 or 4
versions of Windows (including Windows XP).  However, any advice needed
will have to be provided by others.  I understand that these fonts, though
developed in large part by Y&Y, aren't *quite* as good as the ones
available for purchase. However, they have been quite good enough for my
needs (mostly other people's documents, as I prefer the Lucida fonts in my
own work).
