[yandytex] DVIWindo font error messages

[Ganz, Frank, Springer US]

Dear J.R.,
 
I have the same issue. I just hit cancel each time I open a file. It
does then quit instead of showing all fonts it has a problem with.
That's not too bad. If TTF fonts are not part of your document, and
Y&YTeX for sure does not support TTF, why wouldn't it be safe to ignore,
esp. if you consider that Y&YTeX package predates most recent versions
of Windows? That's why I would not advice to follow the suggestion in
the error message even.
 
Another option is, if the fonts are never used, you might just uninstall
them. I believe you could drag and drop them elsewhere, so that you
could install them again, should you need them in future.
 
All of this is probably not very satisfying. Maybe somebody else knows
better. I'd be happy to learn about it, too.
 
Thanks,
Frank

	Fellow Y&Y TeXers,
	
	Is there a way of turning off DVIwindo font error messages?
	I have a few OpenType fonts installed in my computer that
apparently have some error in their naming which DVIwindo dutifully
points out, for each one of them, along with a suggestion to use
setupttf.exe to fix them. I tried to use setupttf, but it apparently is
pre-OTF and does not work on .otf fonts. I tried to delete the files and
reinstall the fonts using Windows at no avail.
	I have never used those fonts with TeX and do not intend to do
so. So, if I could just turn off the 17 consecutive warnings I get when
opening the first .dvi file... 
	
	Thanks for any help,
	
	--jrs.
