% This file is part of the NFSS (New Font Selection Scheme) package. % ------------------------------------------------------------------ \def\filedate{91/11/22} 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.
