Installing Mathtime on Windows XP

[Mike Prager]

Ashim,

I for one can't answer your question, but I can suggest two other resources
that might help if others don't step up here.  Many of those who read this
list use Y&Y TeX itself, which offers trivial installation of outline
fonts, so we are in no position to help.

The other resources:

1. Check CTAN for relevant packages, files, etc.    http://www.ctan.org/

2. post to the Usenet group comp.text.tex, which is populated by a much
wider universe of TeX users.

Best of luck!

MHP
