that lot is for getting the font to work with things like tetex,
miktex, and so on.  y&y doesn't _do_ virtual fonts.

you derive a set of y&y .tfm files from the .afm files; you get
_those_ from the adobe site if you didn't have them in the first
place.

all this stuff is documented in one or other of the paper docs that
come with the distribution but [shamefaced] i've never read the
details because i've never had to do the job.

look in the doc set (mine's at work, but i would start with the
technical addendum).  you'll find _someone_ here who's done it in the
past, surely?
