Hi,
I would like to buy the lucida bright and mathtime fonts from Y&Y, but it is
not
clear to me what I should do. To be specific, I'm using MikTeX (one of the
latest versions) and emacs with cygwin as shell. This works fine with the
standard MikTeX installation. What I would like to do is to keep my present
installation and simply use packages like:
\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[LY1,mtbold]{mathtime}
What I DON'T want to do is install a new Y&Y version of latex, or have to
use Y&Y versions of dvips, ps2pdf, etc.
My operating system is Windows 2000 pro.
I asked Y&Y for advice and they urged me to make sure that I will be able
to use the fonts perfectly before I buy them, because they are expensive.
Could anyone please let me know if the installation of the above fonts will
be easy and "fool-proof", when using MikTeX and the standard utilities.
What is the best/safest thing to do in my situation?
Thanks,
Dirk
