DVIPSONE on the fritz

[David Cruickshank]

Mike,

I had a similar-sounding problem when I installed Y&Y 2.2.3 on my
XP Pro PC.  DVIs compiled just fine, but dvipsone produced empty
files -- it seemed to be unable to find the fonts.  I solved the
problem by installing ATM Lite 4.1 (though since then I've had to
install additional fonts and DVIWindo [but not dvipsone] has had
trouble locating them).  I'm not sure how your already having
Bitstream font navigator will affect this.

If anyone had an alternative solution that doesn't involve ATM, I too
would be interested to hear of it.

David Cruickshank.
