you need to check out the options for the mathtime.sty file
and declare one or more  ;-)    and you may even need to
create a couple of files...    read on:

===========

if you look at the top of mathtime.sty, you'll see the following:

-----------------------these are all the options you *can* decalre
\DeclareOption{slantedgreek}{\renewcommand\greekshape{it}}
\DeclareOption{uprightgreek}{\renewcommand\greekshape{n}}
\DeclareOption{nobold}{\let\boldmath=u}
\DeclareOption{cmbold}{\let\boldmath=c}
\DeclareOption{mtbold}{\let\boldmath=m}
\DeclareOption{heavybold}{\let\boldmath=h}
\newcommand\enablesubscriptcorrection {\catcode`\_=12\relax}
\newcommand\disablesubscriptcorrection{\catcode`\_=8\relax}
\DeclareOption{nosubscriptcorrection}{\disablesubscriptcorrection}
\DeclareOption{subscriptcorrection}  {\enablesubscriptcorrection}
\DeclareOption{cmcal}    {\let\mathcal=c}
\DeclareOption{lucidacal}{\let\mathcal=l}
\DeclareOption{mtplusscr}{\let\mathscr=s}
\DeclareOption{mtpluscal}{\let\mathcal=s}
\DeclareOption{lucidascr}{\let\mathscr=l}
\DeclareOption{noTS1}    {\let\symtextcomp\relax}
\let\operator at encoding\encodingdefault
\DeclareOption{OT1}{\def\operator at encoding{OT1}}
\DeclareOption{T1}{\def\operator at encoding{T1}}
\DeclareOption{LY1}{\def\operator at encoding{LY1}\ExecuteOptions{noTS1}}
\DeclareOption{errorshow}{%
   \def\@font at info#1{%
         \GenericInfo{(Font)\@spaces\@spaces\@spaces\space\space}%
                     {LaTeX Font Info: \space\space\space#1}}%
    \def\@font at warning#1{%
         \GenericInfo{(Font)\@spaces\@spaces\@spaces\space\space}%
                        {LaTeX Font Warning: #1}}}
\DeclareOption{warningshow}{%
   \def\@font at info#1{%
         \GenericInfo{(Font)\@spaces\@spaces\@spaces\space\space}%
                     {LaTeX Font Info: \space\space\space#1}}%
    \def\@font at warning#1{%
         \GenericWarning{(Font)\@spaces\@spaces\@spaces\space\space}%
                        {LaTeX Font Warning: #1}}}
\DeclareOption{nofontinfo}{%
   \let\@font at info\@gobble
   \let\@font at warning\@gobble}

-----------------these are the ones decclared by default
\ExecuteOptions{%
  slantedgreek,nobold,nosubscriptcorrection,cmcal,errorshow}
---------------------------------------------------------


i'm going to cut and paste from a previous message by Robin F.

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 \texmf-local\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.


there is an additional note that miktex changes its installation
procedures (slightly) every release - so you probably should
also look at the documentation for your setup.
