To my great chagrin, I have found that the many differences between
your ini file and mine are in fact `normal' -- a colleague sent me
hers for comparison and it is the same as yours on every point where
mine is not ;-(

Hmmm ... I wonder if the copying act was not a good plan. To avoid
perhaps `contamination' between one machine and its different
applications and the other, would you be up for uninstalling all the
fonts on the Win2000 machine, and reinstalling from the source CD?



Something which has puzzled me since looking at the .pdf screen shot
you included a few days ago. It showed a button at the bottom labelled
`MikTeX'. Are you in fact running two TeX versions on the same machine
... but ony Y&YTeX on your laptop?

I ask because there is one last area of examination that has come to
mind and it is the nasty interference that one suffers if one's fonts
are available in TTF format rather than Type1 -- Windows likes TTF and
will go for 'em unless thwarted. I have some old mail on the subject
-- I had to install Y&YTeX on a machine which had previously had
PCTeX, which does use TT fonts. Unfortunately, I have to work on other
things for most of the day today.

In the meantime, perhaps you could check your machine for font files
with TT (in blue) in your font directories. And then, if you could
look at all the queries in FAQ (Font Topics) at the website that
related to TTF font interference, you may already be able to determine
whether the problem(s) are looking familiar. If yes, then I will find
the mail and we will work to keep them out of Y&YTeX's path --
literally!

I will be back in touch as soon as possible.
