I was trying various things and downloaded the beta version of cont-tmf.zip
(from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-2.htm ) instead of the current
version and it all works, hooray!
Thank-you, everyone, for your help. I'm so pleased to be able to use MKIV
now for the first time - it even gives me Helvetica when I ask for it.
All I've got to do now is get Scite working again :-(

Thanks,

Richard
