Installing Mathtime on Windows XP

[Jochen Autschbach]

I suggest to look where mtsyn.pfb is located and to add that directory
to "PSPath" and "Type1Path" in miktex.ini.

On my system, the YandY font files are in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts, so the
respective entries in miktex.ini read

PSPath=.;%R\miktex\config//;%R\dvips//;%R\pdftex//;%R\dvipdfm//;%R\fonts\type1//;C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

and

Type1Path=.;%R\fonts\type1//;C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

I put a customized version of c:\texmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini in
C:\localtexmf\miktex\config\

Afterwards, you should also be able to run pdflatex without problems.

Hope this helps

Jochen
