OF course, your LAtex files may be different from mine. The texfonts.sub file is designed to do a reasonable substitution job for magnifications down to -m289, which is really small. The fact that sometimes substitute fonts are used is no cornern for alarm. In general it does a good job. The only real problem is that a given letter in a smaller point size is generally wider in proportion to its height than in a larger point size. The upshot is that at smaller magnifications, letters get crowded together. You should use the -d24 switch to see how substitution actually proceeds for your file. It is vital that texfonts.sub be found, somewhere. The only font that really HAS to be there in the right size is CMEX10. You might also consider the circle and line fonts to be in the same catagory - I haven't needed them yet. If the lines in your tables get out of line, or pieces of circles don't line up, you might need to get these in sizes down to 70 d.p.i. Doug McDonald
