Does this apply to font definition files? If so, there is a potential conflict with AMS latex, and I'm wondering how this has been resolved. I have in the past had to change the font definition files for cmcsc, as they do not make use of the 8 and 9 point sizes. The 8 point size is needed for compatibility with AMS latex. I would like to propose that cmcsc8 and cmcsc9 be made part of the latex distribution and that the font definition files be amended to make use of them. --Mark -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Steinberger | Dept. of Math. & Stat | Nonlinear similarity begins in dimension six.
