You shouldn't use them in one of the three positions = which are priviledged
under the math fonts, specially not as family 2 or = 3.

P.S. The reason for overloading the fontdimensions = instead of assigning higher
fontdimensions was efficiency. The tfm file format = cannot handle a sparse
array of fontdimensions, the tfm files are filled = with explicit zeroes for all
unspecified fontdimensions, if you leave holes in = their sequence.
