mathtime in MikTeX

[Robin Fairbairns]

sorry, folks; i'm a bit unreliable just now.  started this on 11th...

i've done that, experimentally.  (i don't regularly use miktex myself,
but the installation seemed to work.)

1. i created a mathtime.map: see

   http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rf/tex/mathtime.map

   (someone told me there was an "official" one on ctan somewhere, but
   in my usual chaotic way i've lost the reference.)

2. install that in \localtexmf\dvips\yandy (create the directory if
   necessary)

3. the distribution includes .pfb, .tfm and .vf file(s) (actually only
   one current .vf) [or should include: they were on my cd, the .vf
   confusingly in a tfm directory]

   install these in

   \localtexmf\fonts\type1\yandy\mathtime
   \localtexmf\fonts\tfm\yandy\mathtime
   \localtexmf\fonts\vf\yandy\mathtime

   creating the required directories as necessary

4. it says here:

   On a Mik\TeX{} system earlier than version~2.2, the ``Refresh
   filename database'' operation, which you performed after installing
   the map file, also updates the system's ``postscript resources
   database''.

   On a Mik\TeX{} system, version~2.2 or later, update
   \File|updmap.cfg| which is described in Mik\TeX{} online
   documentation http://www.miktex.org/2.2/mkfntmap.html
   Then execute the MkFntMap utility, and the job is done.

you can probably guess that i've not done this from memory.  in
particular, i've not tried it on a <2.2 system, since i don't have one
any more -- someone else told me that what's listed above is how to go
about it -- confirmation that it works would be welcome...
