I TeX'ed the distributed Test_latex.tex source distributed with mtpro2.
Just two problems -- (1) the \usepackage line needs to be changed to refer to mtpro2 rather than mtpro and (2) the symbols \varGamma and \varOmega are not defined -- but otherwise the TeX'ing went OK.

However, the YAP viewer could not load the requisite cmb10. See the YAP details in "cmb10 Logbook" below.

Here's what I did for installation:
I unzipped the mtpsfont.zip to MiKTex's texmf tree (actually, had to unzip to a temporary directory, then copy, since the top directory in the zip was texmf rather than localtexmf).

I edited localtexmf\web2c\updmap.cfg so as to insert at the end the line:
Map mtpro2.map #localtexmf\dvips\mtpro\mtpro2.map
then I ran mkfntmap (as MiKTeX does not seem to provide a updmap command).
Then I refreshed the MiKTeX filename database.

METAFONT failed for some reason
makepk: METAFONT failed on "cmb10".


Loading 'cmr10' instead.
