Problem with CM Fonts

[Blenda Horn]

Dear Dr. Garciadiego,

I sent your email to the author of Y&Y TeX Systems, to get another perspective of your problem and received an answer from him.

Here is his answer to your problem with the CM Fonts.  Sorry for it's late arrival, but it is always helpful to have more information.


Regards,

This is because those fonts are incorrectly marked as "text" fonts.
In Windows (and on the Mac), "text fonts" are reencoded by the
operating system to the standard layout for the appropriate layout
for that platform.  CM fonts have their own fixed and unusual encoding
and should never be marked "text" (by the way, this is not a TrueType
versus Type 1 issue).

When using DVIWindo and/or DVIPSONE you should install proper Type 1
fonts such as the ones supplied with Y&Y TeX System.
