problems with fonts

[Peter Scott]

Dear Carlos,
  I have had this problem also using Windows XP. It is caused by the fact
that Scientific Workplace uses Truetype fonts and Y&Y uses Adobe Type 1
fonts, so you end up with two sets of fonts with the same names, which
Windows cannot cope with.
  My solution is as follows. First I got Adobe Type Manager version 4.1.
**Note version 4.0 won't work with XP.**
  Then the idea is to use ATM to inactivate one set of the two competing
fonts. The difficulty is that each set has a lot of fonts and you need to
get them into a set for ATM to use.
  So I uninstalled both SW and Y&Y *and all their fonts*. Then I put all
the remaining fonts into a single set, just so that newly installed fonts
will be immediately recognizable.
  Then install SW and Y&Y one at a time. When installing Y&Y, I used ATM
to install its fonts. This worked fine for me despite the problems others
seem to have had. After each installation, take all the fonts which do not
yet lie in a set and put them in some new set. (With Y&Y, you can directly
put the fonts into a new set when you install them.) You also will need to
move the SW fonts from the Windows fonts folder to the default ATM folder,
because ATM cannot deactivate fonts in the Windows fonts folder. This is
described in the ATM help. Now you can easily deactivate one set and use
the other, and just as easily reverse the activations of the two sets. But
personally, I keep the SW fonts deactivated all the time, because dviwindo
is a far better dvi viewer than the SW viewer.
 Hope this helps.
