\def\filedate{92/09/20}
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Don't change this file.
This file contains problem records, bug reports, and history notes.
Unsolved problems and uncorrected but known bugs (so called features)
start out with two exclamation marks before the number. Fixed
problems will start with two asterisks.
** (1) FMi 90/04/05: \process@table will never be called in the letter
style, or more exactly in any style that redefines \document.
This means that you can't use math alphabet identifiers in
letters. This is a problem of the upgrade to LaTeX 2.10 and
will vanish then. A fix for LaTeX 2.09 styles is to insert
\process@table immediately before \def\do .... inside any
redefinition of the \document command.
FMi 91/09/28: corrected with the new release of LaTeX 2.09 from
91/12/01
** (2) FMi 90/04/05: \makelabels in letter will cause an error because
\xpt is redefined to \@preamerr after \document.
FMi 90/06/03: Fixed by redefining \xpt inside \xpt. (v1.1j
lfonts.doc)
!! (3) FMi 90/04/05: Problems similar to (1) will be encountered in
style files that redefine internals like \@outputpage, etc.
** (4) SPQR 90/05/22: In oldlfont.sty and newlfont.sty we forgot to
add the lasy math alphabet identifier to the math versions.
FMi 90/05/24: fixed.
** (5) MDo 90/06/08: An \hbox{\small ...} in vertical mode will be
placed into the vertical list using the \baselineskip current
inside the box not the one outside the box. Temp. fix: use
extra braces to keep the change from \small local. Final fix
will move part of the code from \gbl@settings into
\selectfont.
FMi 90/06/24: fixed.
** (6) DH 90/06/18: \hbox instead of \mbox was used in \text.
FMi 90/06/24: fixed.
** (7) DH 90/06/29: oldlfont.sty shouldn't be read in twice to avoid
math group overflow.
FMi 90/06/29: fixed.
** (8) MDo 90/06/28: \no@font@help message was too long for some
version of TeX (buffer size).
FMi 90/06/30: fixed by shortening the error message. We
recommend increase of buffer size to at least 2000!!!!!
** (9) FMi (long known): In certain cases \addtoversion would produce
a misleading error message.
RmS 90/06/30: Fixed by adding another error message text.
** (10) MDo 90/07/05: Stupid typo in v1.2l of fam.doc. First assigned
user value and then default value in \extra@def.
FMi 90/07/05: Fixed by exchanging.
** (11) JBr 90/07/06: Another stupid typo in v1.2i of oldlfont.sty
where a necessary \fi was preceded by %.
FMi 90/07/06: Fixed by removing the percent.
** (12) FMi 90/07/07: While changing the interface a few days ago I
forgot to remove a \the\toks@ in \define@mathgroup. This
enlarged the versions by a power of two resulting in some loss
of performance.
FMi: fixed five minutes later.
** (13) DH 90/07/10: In fam.doc a missing percent in \sub@fontshape
could produce an extra space if a font is loaded in horizontal
mode.
FMi 90/07/11: fixed.
** (14) MDo 90/07/10: Used \ifx\undefined\ds@oldlfont instead of
\@ifundefined{ds@oldlfont} so that oldlfont was never loaded
in a \documentstyle command. (Another of those stupid things)
FMi 90/07/11: Fixed.
** (15) RmS 90/09/02: Fix for (14) was incorrect since \@ifundefined
is not available before latex.tex is loaded.
FMi 90/09/02: Fixed by inserting its definition directly.
** (16) FMi 90/10/02: Dr. David Love reported that \paragraph{Test}
{\sl AB} would produce a bold slanted heading the newlfont
option. This is actually not an error of the font selection
scheme but a problem with LaTeX 2.09. If the newlfont option
is used, it is necessary that at some places in a style file
all font parameters are specified. Currently the LaTeX styles
specify only \normalsize \bf in headings. In this case one
has to reset the wrong font parameter by hand, e.g.,
\paragraph{\normalshape Test} in the case above. As similar
problem will arise when a footnote is encountered during the
scope of \sf etc. This problem will vanish with the new
LaTeX.
FMi 91/09/28: corrected with the new release of LaTeX 2.09
** (17) DH 90/10/04: It seems better to substitute cmti for cmu fonts
which are not available since this font is mainly used for the
\pound symbol. (Who likes to get pounds converted to dollars
in a footnote?)
FMi 90/10/09: Changed.
** (18) FMi 90/10/12: FJe reported that changes to \baselinestretch
in the preamble do not affect the setting of \baselineskip.
FMi 90/10/12: Fixed by forcing a reinitialisation in
\begin{document}
** (19) DWu 91/03/03: The combination of twoside, \pagestyle{headings}
and newlfont.sty results in slanted page numbers on every
second page. This is again the result of mixing LaTeX 2.09
styles with the font selection scheme.
Temp. fix: delimit the scope of \sl in the heading macros with
an extra set of braces. The standard styles will be updated
soon.
FMi 91/09/28: corrected with the new release of LaTeX 2.09
!! (20) WKa 91/03/07: \process@table will never be called in the
letter style, or more exactly in any style that redefines
\document. This means that you can't use newlfont.sty within
such document styles without adding the fix mentioned in (1).
** (21) SLe 91/03/25: \$ no longer worked as superscript in math.
Fixed 91/03/27 FMi: added extra braces around definition. Did
the same for \pounds and \copyright.
** (22) FMi 91/03/30: The file install.tex was added to the
distribution. It describes the generation of a new format in
more detail and is processable with the old LaTeX. The file
fontsel.tex was changed so that it is processable without the
NFSS running.
** (23) FMi 91/03/30: Definitions of \newfont and \symbol added to
newlfont.sty and basefont.tex. The use of this functions is
not encouraged but was provided because the NFSS still misses
a proper interface for these features.
***** FMi 91/09/28: Set of small changes to use the features offered
by a new release of LaTeX 2.09. NFSS will check whether or not
it runs under the new LaTeX release and will issue an error if
not during initex to inform people that there is a newer
version of LaTeX around. \xpt got undefined then.
** (24) RmS 91/11/10: \reset@font should be protected against
expansion.
FMi 91/11/21: corrected.
** (25) RmS 91/11/21: LaTeX fonts should start with `l'.
FMi 91/11/21: corrected.
** (26) RmS 91/11/22: euscript.sty does not work without amstex.sty
option.
FMi 91/11/22: Missing code added.
** (27) FMi 91/11/26: The AMS removed eufm14.mf and eufb14.mf from
their font distribution. For this reason fontdef.max was
changed.
** (28) RBa 91/05: \series etc. should get different names because
they may be used in mathematical work.
FMi 91/11/27: Changed to \fontfamily, \fontseries, \fontshape
and \fontsize. Old names are still supported but shouldn't be
used any longer.
** (29) FMi 91/12/02: The file preload.med was renamed to preload.xpt
to to reflect its purpose namely to preload 10pt font metrics.
** (30) BRa 91/12/29: Forgotten \size in basefont.tex and
\newlfont.sty. Changed to \fontsize.
** (31) FMi 91/12/29: Check for NFSS in oldlfont and newlfont styles
added, so that execution stops with an error message if NFSS
is not loaded. Suggested by BRa.
!! (32) FMi 92/01/24: Local style files that directly use \halign need
to surround the column marks in the preamble with a set of
braces. Otherwise surprising errors can occur when a size
change happens within such a table. This change is otherwise
not changing the processing of the macros since each column is
already according to TeX rules implicitly surrounded by
braces.
Example:
\halign{{#}\hfil\quad&\hfil{#}\hfil\cr...}
not
\halign{#\hfil\quad&\hfil#\hfil\cr...}
!! (33) FMi 92/02/09: Using tracefnt.sty with \tracingfonts>2 may
result in errors inside tabular material. Since this is more
or less only a tracing tool we probably won't fix this bug
soon.
** (34) FMi 92/02/09: Neither (27) nor (21) have been completely
corrected. Missing code added.
** (35) FMi 92/02/09: \subst@fontshape changed so that the correct
font (i.e. the substituted one) is shown in overfull box
messages and other places.
** (36) FMi 92/03/21: Macro \text was renamed to \nfss@text to make it
internal because people complained that the name is too
common. The style file amstext.sty will redefine this to
behave like the \text macro in amstext. This means that people
who wish to use \text the way it was before need to load
amstext.sty in the \documentstyle command.
** (37) FMi 92/05/11: \subst@fontshape for cmr/bx/u added to make a
\pounds come out right in situations like {\bf\pounds}
Hopefully dc/ec font layout will come soon. Problem reported
by AJe.
** (38) JTr 92/02/12: $\script{A} \boldsymbol{\script {A}}$ resulted
in both ``script alphabet'' characters becoming bold.
Fixed 92/5/12 RmS.
** (39) ROl 92/05: The use of a size command inside a moving argument
causes an error when oldlfont is inforce
Fixed 92/7/1 FMi with v1.3d of oldlfont.
** (40) PTa 92/06: \cal and \mit became \relax in toc file if not
preceded by a \protect.
Fixed 92/7/1 FMi: with v1.2e of lfonts.new.
** (41) Aje 92/06: with oldlfont in force the use of \rmdefault etc
did not really work because size commands switch back to
default fonts hardwired into fontdef.xxx
Changed 92/7/1 FMi: with v1.3d of oldlfont.
** (42) NPa 92/07/18: changing \rmdefault in the preamble doesn't
change the base font characteristics of the whole document.
Fixed 92/07/18 FMi: with v1.1i of latint.
** (43) FJe 92/08/17: math sizes for 7pt are wrong and should be
7/5/5.
Fixed 92/08/19 FMi: with v1.1e of setsize.
** (44) FJe 92/08/17: double substitution using \subst@fontshape
doesn't work.
Fixed 92/08/19 FMi: with v1.3d of fam.
** (45) RKe 92/08/19: In nfss the command \@currsize is not set by the
standard size changing commands. This is used, for example, by
a style option implementing relative size changes.
Fixed 92/09/01 FMi: changed definition of \@setsize to include
an assignment to \@currsize. However, this assignment is
*not* carried out when the size changing command is used
un\protected in a moving argument to keep the size changing
commands robust.
** (46) FJe 92/09/03: Combination of substitution and math loading
produced weird error.
Fixed 92/09/03 FMi: with v1.3e of fam.
** (47) FJe 92/09/07: Since a warning is given for every size when a
font substitution happens it is better to include the size
into the warning message.
Fixed 92/09/07 FMi: with v1.3f of fam.
** (48) UFu 92/09/07: Change (31) resulted in oldlfont.sty being no
longer loadable at IniTeX time.
Fixed 92/09/07 RmS: with v1.3f of oldlfont.
** (49) FMi 92/09/20: To avoid incorrect output in cases like $\bf x$
under newlfont.sty or basefont.tex all `text-font commands',
eg \sf, \tt, \sl, etc. will generate an error message when
used in math mode. Up to now the command was silently ignored.
At the same time the math alphabets \mathbf and \mathsf have
been added.
** (50) BRa ???: Changing only \baselinestretch has no effect.
Fixed 92/09/24 RmS: with v1.3h of fam and v1.0s of tracefnt.
