Fonts in eps figures

Hi there

Once again, I have (I think) a problem with fonts (nothing changes...).

I have a paper from an author, which includes dozens of eps figures. He has
used mathtype for the labelling, and it all prints out perfectly on my HP
printer if I print direct from the dvi file.  His conversion of the original
tex file to pdf also prints out correctly.

However, if _I_ convert to postscript and then PDF using my trusty YandY, a
number of the symbols just disappear from some of the figures (\varnothing,
\alpha, \prime, \vee and \wedge -- but all the letters seem to come out OK)!
This happens with both his original tex file and with the one that I have
edited with our journal style.

I have tried various subterfuges like using different graphics-insertion
techniques, but that doesn't seem to help.

I seem to need MTMI, MTEX, MTMS and MTSYN.  I'm using Windows 2K, and all
these appear in the list of fonts in WINNT, with the correct red "a" symbol
for type 1 fonts.  If I list the fonts in the paper, using DVIWIndo, none of
them appears in the "TT" column.  There is also, however, an "MT Extra"
Truetype font in WINNT -- could that be confusing the issue?  I could see a
tfm file when I looked, but not an AFM one, so I tried making one from
DVIWindo.  The pfb and pfm files are in lower-case, and the tfm and afm in
upper -- does this matter?

(I have just been to the ctan site and picked up new tfm files, but that
also seems to have no effect.)

Printing out one of the pages with a problem figure on, I get the following
log:

Please, someone, tell me I've done something dumb, and there's an easy fix!
