Here is another possibly useful LaTeX file.  This file is a modified
lfonts.tex file that includes the stuff necessary for the American
Mathematicsl Society fonts.  There is a file called mssymb.tex that
they distribute that does the right things so that you can use their
fonts with Plain TeX but it doesn't have the necessary wiggle to work
with LaTeX.  I incorporated it into lfonts.tex and made up a special
LaTeX called ``latex_ams''.  This way you can use the AMS symbols with
LaTeX's \small, etc.  commands.  The biggest problem is that the
largest size currently available of the AMS fonts is 10 point.  If you
try to use anything larger than 10 point LaTeX will complain and tell
you that it is substituting the 10 point size.
