I'm installing AcroTeX Presentations Bundle 2.0 in separate locations
for MiKTeX and YandY TeX. I've reached the point in the installation
instruction where I'm testing the webdings and wingdings with
webding_tst.tex. This works fine with MiKTeX.
With YandY, however, although I can LaTeX this file just fine and it
views as expected in dviwindo, when I try to convert it from .dvi to
.ps, the YandY converter crashes -- at least when I'm running it from
within WinEdt -- and gives a 0-byte .ps file. And if I use dvipsone.bat
directly from the command line (with the APB-recommended parameters) I
do get a .ps file (with various errors indicated when I try to view it
in GhostView) and then when I use Acrobat Distiller 8.1 I do see the
dings, but strangely the CM fonts are not found and are replaced by Courier!
The .tex->.dvi->.ps->.pdf process works perfectly (from within WinEdt)
on lots of non-APB source files.
I'm bewildered. Can you shed any light? What further diagnostic
information can I provide?
