OK. One down ... ;-)

Excellent!

OK. I mean ... `noted' ;-)

OK.

Oh, I do believe they _are_ needed. On p.4 of the Technical Addendum
(the bigger manual), I find this:

  On the Windows Platform, a Type 1 font consists of two files:

   PFB ...

   PFM ...

So now that we know you need 'em, maybe the problem is that they're in
a place dviwindo.ini doesn't know about. It's Sunday morning ... I'm
supposed to be doing family stuff not this. So this is about all I cal
do right now. But have a read through some of this fonts stuff and
check that your .pfbs are in a place that dvipsone can find them.

But it does sound like we're making progress, overall ... a bit, no?
Perhaps? ;-))

Maybe. I'd like to defer this part of your query to Robin, as he's
more familiar with nfss things than I.
