-
- IMPORTANT NOTICE:
-
- Don't change this file.
-
- This file contains problem-records and bug-reports. 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
-
-
- ** (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.
-
- ** (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.
