Missing fonts?

[Steve McKinnon]

Progress!:

I think the font issue could be a red herring. As far as I can tell, all the fonts are accessible and have been installed from the CD ROM. I've spent some time with the mathtime installation and can now compile the hello_MT.tex successfully. However, the log file reports quite a few warnings so I might not yet be completely in the clear. This is a summary of what I did:

Could not find the mathtime.sty or times.sty, so went to the CD ROM:\MATHPLUS\PSNFSS directory, copied everything to my C:\YANDY\TEX\LATEX directory and ran Latex on mathtime.ins. This created additional files, but not a times.sty, which appeared to be the only missing file according to latax's complaints. This, I found in the yyadd.zip file in the demo directory of the CD-ROM (search reported it was in the PSNFSS directory, but this did not exist on the ROM and crashed explorer when I tried to copy the found file - strange). Anyway, with these files in place the file compiles and can be viewed by dviwindo. The remaining odd part is the numerous warning messages in the log file, as sample of which is:

Apart from this, all seems to work. I'll try testing additional files. Any comments or is this normal?

Thanks again,

Steve

OK. One down ... ;-)

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.

And thank you for your patience!
