 From all the reports and my experiences, it seems that Y&Y (especially
DVIPSONE) does not work well in finding fonts under Windows XP unless ATM
Deluxe is used.  Another user here had absolutely no luck, despite
installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, and so on, until he used ATM to
manage the fonts.  This need work by Y&Y.  The documentation is also
confusing, scattered, and out of date.
