Re: [MiKTeX] yap font problem

Hi Brad,

Maybe you can try what I have just did for solving mathptmx font problem:  

Rename your localtexmf directory to localtexmfSave, say.  Remove texmf 
directory (or rename if you don't feel comfortable).  Reinstall MikTeX (if 
your computer is online all the time, simply try small and configure MikTeX 
to install missing packages automatically).  Now compile your TeX file and 
run Yap to view.  

If it works, then replace the contents of the localtexmf Save with the new 
localtexmf.  Remove localtexmf and change the name of localtexmfSave back to 
localtexmf.  After updating the database, it should work like before.

If it doesn't work, then ask again, and hopefully someone else can help you.

Best,

WF
