Dear David,

This error is in DVIWINDO. You are missing the pfm and probably the pfb files for those. You would need to get the pfm and pfb file for the design sizes 8 and 9. If you are only concerned in getting the font printed correctly you can just add a line into c:\yandy\dvipsone\sub\standard.sub (that way you don't need to change anything anywhere else) that reads as follows:

eusm8 eusm10

eusm8 will now be substituted with eusm10 (this is an example only, you have to check which one you have). Please keep in mind that there's no problem with this as eusm8 and eusm10 are identical. In PostScript each font file contains the outlines in 1pt size and the driver scales them to the requested size. This is contrary to the workings of TeX (or contents of the .tfm files). In other words, the numbers 8 and 10 in the PostScript fonts are just part of the font name and have no bearing on the actual size.

Thanks,
Frank
