font installation in Windows 2000

[LMS journals]

...
The new fonts do NOT show up on the list of fonts in dviwindo, so I can't
use  "Write AFM". I get a Courier substitute on-screen in DVIWindo, and
constant "pings" if I switch on "Complain missing fonts". BUT they print out
fine!!!  I get a warning message "no ATMREG.ATM" (which I always get, and
was told at some point earlier not to worry about because of having 2K --
see below), and an error message for each of the new fonts: "expecting
number not `dup'". Nevertheless, the printing goes through.
        I had this problem a couple of months ago, and I solved it by
reinstalling Y &Y TeX. I have no idea why it worked. I tried every other
trick suggested to me. Reinstalling took about 15 minutes.

 Dear Herb (and all)

Thanks so much for that -- I've been nervous to try that, as I have updated
various things (including hyperref and bibtex, not to mention a range of
fonts)   since my original installation, and I didn't want to risk
reverting!

What exactly did you UNinstall and/or stash away safely first?  (My techie
knowledge is pretty minimal, except for what I've perforce HAD to learn
since getting YandY2.2!)

Does this also mean that I'll have to reinstall every time I need a new
font?????  (Impassioned note to YandY -- please, is this something that
could be fixed -- I can't be the only one who needs to get new fonts as time
goes on...)

But thanks again

Sue
