[MiKTeX] Metric (TFM) file not found

[Michael Fischer]

Hi everyone,

I just recently started working with MiKTeX

I have a problem with the following code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{yfonts}

\begin{document}
{\frakfamily\fraklines
\yinipar{T}his: is: an initial with a sentence in Fraktur.\\
\textfrak{This: is: also Fraktur.}\\
\textswab{This: is: Schwabacher.}\\
\textgoth{This: is: Gothic.}
}
\end{document}

I always get this error:
Font U/yinitas/m/n/10=yinitas not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
\yinipar{T}

Can somebody pleas help me. Oh and I use a windows 7 system.

Syncerly yours
Mike

Seems to me you need to see the full compile, including how you are
compiling, before anybody can help.

To save everybody the trouble of asking, I compiled this on Ubuntu Linux
with TexLive and it compiled well and displays perfectly.

Then your TeXlive is not up-to-date ;-). In a current texlive the
yinitas.mf and .tfm has been remove due to some licensing problems
and must be install manually from CTAN (it has been discussed two
week ago on the texlive mailing list). It is still part of miktex:

\yinipar{T}

Open the package manager (it doesn't matter if admin or user
version). In the menu "repositories" click on synchronize, to make
sure that your package list is up-to-date. Then search for the
package "yinit-as", select it and click on the + to install it.
