Three Crazy Fonts

[Troels Roussau Johansen]

> 3.  None of them are listed in c:\windows\fonts

As already mentioned by someone else, make sure that a) the fonts ARE copied
over and not simply represented by a shortcut, or b) make sure ATM knows where
to look for the fonts, perhaps c) make sure the fonts are properly placed in
c:\yandy\fonts

Is this you _own_ computer, i.e., do you have administrator privileges?
Otherwise you might be able to create your own folder, say, c:\myfonts, and
add them to the search path in dwindo.ini like this:

 PSFONTS=C:\WINDOWS\fonts;c:\myfonts

Whenever in doubt, delete! :-) Try to strip away as much as you can. Sometimes
those (re)encoding things have messed with my systems (in the sense that it
should work in an ideal world, but it worked better without ;-) )

For what it is worth, until a few days ago I couldn't get the Times Italics to
show up in my documents. Now  they appear in dvi files, but the postscript
files only contains a nasty-looking pixel font version :-( It works flawlessly
on my Linux box, though. I have been using LaTeX for the better part of 10
years, but font issues still seem to get me :'(
