Re: [MiKTeX] Yap Bug

My solution (also with MiKTeX 2.7) was to use the package manager to 
install all packages with the keyword "fonts"

Assuming that you used a program such as maple etc..to create the  .eps 
graphics,  MiKTeX ghostscript needs to find the fonts helvetic, etc.

There is a file C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\ghostscript\base\Fontmap.MiKTeX
which assumes that there are files type1/urw/helvetic/uhvb8a.pfb etc.

At the time of my installation, the "urw fonts" were NOT installed by default.

The error messages are more terse with dvipdfm - the clue is that the error 
message contains the word "/findfont"
