Subject:      More on fontdimensions
Status: R
X-Status: 
X-Keywords:                  
X-UID: 1740

I have now a test implementation with the additional fontdimensions above
Nr. 22. Unfortunately, this causes the tfm files and the space needed in
the font memory to grow more then necessary, because all empty
fontdimensions are automatically set to zeroes.

Therefore I'd like to ask, if this waste of space is tolerable, or whether
the additional font dimensions should low numbers again. Since there are
less than 13 (or even 22) additional dimensions, the dc fonts can't be
mistaken for math italic or math extension fonts by TeX.

What do you think?
