The +first occurrent of a \subsection is in the third chapter and when I isolate +and compile the chapter by itself, I still receive the error message. Thus, +there is obviously something going on at first recognition of a \subsection +command. I looked in the chapter for a \\ or a \newline (which I never +use), which is recommended for debugging this error, and did not find +either. I must say, that I have modified the *style* parameter in +@subsection of book.cls with a \centering command, removed it, and this did +not prevent the error message from occurring. + +Previously, I could make a full compile of the book without this message +>occurring. Is there something that I could have done to cause this error +message? How can I prevent it from occurring. + +Please help. + +Thanks, + +Leif Peterson + +------------------------------ + +From: Ralph Youngen <rey@ams.org> +Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 15:49:50 -0500 (EST) +Subject: Computer Modern PostScript Fonts + +The American Mathematical Society is pleased to announce the public release +of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts in Adobe Type 1 format. The +READ.ME file that accompanies this release appears below. We call your +attention to the second full paragraph of the READ.ME file which discusses +the AMS copyright associated with this release. We hope that this +explanation will set aside any possible confusion regarding the intent of +the AMS copyright with respect to these fonts. + +Ralph Youngen +Director, Electronic Product Development +American Mathematical Society + + -------------------- + +Computer Modern PostScript Fonts +(Adobe Type 1 format) + +- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by +and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely +available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation +of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y. +Members of this consortium include: + + Elsevier Science + IBM Corporation + Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) + Springer-Verlag + American Mathematical Society (AMS) + +In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held +by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any +way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic +distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts +into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer +applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or +faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be +removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in +any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer +Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces, +has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be +given a different name. + +The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance +beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation +and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this +READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation. + +- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +History + +The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988 +by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, +Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial +implementations of the TeX program. + +Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated +character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian +Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of +Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y +(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font +engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and +Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's +changes to the greek delta and arrow characters. + +- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Font Distributions + +The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on +the AMS FTP server, e-math.ams.org, at /pub/tex/cmfonts/ps. This area is +also mirrored on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) at +fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky. + +The following three files are in this directory for you to download: + +cmps-macintosh.hqx for use on a Macintosh, contains fonts in standard + Macintosh Type 1 format +cmps-pc.zip for use on a Windows or DOS system, contains fonts + in PFB format with PFM metrics files +cmps-unix.tar.gz for use on a Unix system, contains fonts in + PFB format with AFM metrics files + +Each distribution includes a READ.ME file which contains instructions +for installing the fonts. Please review the READ.ME file in its entirety +before undertaking to install the fonts on your system. + +------------------------------ + +About TeXhax... + +Please send contributions to: TeXhax@tex.ac.uk + +Subscription and unsubscription requests: + send a one line mail message to TeXhax-Request@tex.ac.uk + containing only the line + subscribe texhax + or + unsubscribe texhax +If you have problems with un/subscribing, +please mail texhax-owner@nottingham.ac.uk + +For information on the TeX Users Group, please send a message to +TUG@TUG.org, or write TeX Users Group, 1850 Union Street, #1637 +San Francisco CA 94123 (phone: 1 415 982 8449, fax: 1 415 982 8559) + +Backnumbers of all the digests are stored in the Comprehensive TeX +Archive Network (CTAN) and can be retrieved on the Internet by +anonymous ftp.
