Font problem

[Herbert Gintis]

I am reporting how I solved a problem, as it might be useful to others.

The problem:

> > A set of files I have compiled many times started giving me 50 or so error
> > messages of the following form:
> > GetTeXMetrics Failed at byte 148. Can't find font lcircle10 (0).
> > Font Name: lcircle10 REGULAR (Windows offers 'lcircle10'). Can't get
> > TexMetrics at byte 148.
> > This appears to be in response to the following TeX code:
> > \begin{picture}(83.00,70.00)
> > \put(20.18,38.35){\circle*{1.20}}
> > When I use Window's character map, lcircle10 comes up fine.
> > The file prints fine, also, but the screen version is screwed up.
         None of  obvious fixes worked (making sure all the font files were
intact, etc.). Finally, I reinstalled Y & Y 2.2 and that fixed everything.
I have no idea why.
