[yandytex] A question concerning Y&Y Tex and ATM if I may

[Murray Eisenberg]

Locations other than c:\windows\fonts are OK for the Y&Y (and other) 
Type 1 fonts.  For Y&Y, you need to specify that location (or multiple 
locations) in the environment variable PSFONTS.  That can be edited 
directly in dviwindo.ini (in c:\windows) or indirectly through 
DVIWindo's menu selection Preferences > Environment > PSFONTS.  (It may 
be that the installation script from the Y&Y CD gives you the option to 
specify the location, but like Jochen, I've just copied things from one 
computer to another when upgrading machines, so I've forgotten how I 
originally did it.)
