haven't the time to look into it just at the moment, but I'm fairly
certain  this issue was dealt with a year or more ago - had
something to do with the font file name being wrong - inside one
of the map files or something....   I'm fairly sure you can search
the old yandytex archives for subject lines on this ...    it has
something to do with the font name beineg changed inside one of the
system files...

or perahps someone with a better memory than I have can do it...
(sorry I can't be more specific  ;-(

Y&Y has gone out of business..   Negotiations are undereway to
make the software available via other sources, as well as making
the fonts available by another vendor...       When things are
finalized, we'll probably be the first to know  ;-)
