I think that is the problem as well - but I really have no idea what I
should do to correct this.  By the way, in response to Mike Praeger, the
DVIPS is in fact Y&YTex's supplied DVIPSONE 2.2.4 as I read it from the
DVPSONE's log (and not some free version).

I followed the download instructions - I have installed and uninstalled
several times (gsview and ghostscript) - and am confident that it was done
correctly.  The fact that I can view and print all ps docs other than those
which I produce from DVIPSONE on this desktop,  leads me to conclude that
the problem is in DVIPSONE.  (the printout and view of DVIPSONE output has
all the courier font substitutions in stead of CM fonts, which DVIPSONE log
states it can't find - ghostcript makes the substitutions)

How do I find out where WinEdt has DVIPSONE pointing?

.tfm files are in the c:\yandy\fonts\ folder.  In fact there are 6 folders
which have .tfm files.  The CM files are in
c:\yandy\fonts\tfm\nontext\tfm-cm.

  ;--)

ghostcript can find appropriate fonts from ps files not generated from
DVIPSONE - is that some clue?
