\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 surprisin
