You need not load the extra package cmmib57 for this purpose." I do find the reference to an old (and now obsolete) package like cmmib57 (http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/amsfonts/doc/cmmib57.pdf) quite dubious. And with the cm-super fonts there are certainly more design sizes available than used by the sty. I do understand that is could be problematic to change fix-cm as it could change existing definitions. But couldn't one create a new-fix-cm.sty with better font definitions? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
