-<h3>Too many math alphabets</h3>
-<p/>TeX mathematics is one of its most impressive features, yet the
-internal structure of the mechanism that produces it is painfully
-complicated and (in some senses) pathetically limited. One area of
-limitation is that one is only allowed 16 &#8221;maths alphabets&#8221;
-<p/>LaTeX offers the user quite a lot of flexibility with allocating
-maths alphabets, but few people use the flexibility directly.
-Nevertheless, there are many packages that provide symbols, or that
-manipulate them, which allocate themselves one or more maths alphabet.
-<p/>If you can&#8217;t afford to drop any of these packages, there&#8217;s
-still hope if you&#8217;re using the <i>bm</i> package to support
-<a href="FAQ-boldgreek.html">bold maths</a>: <i>bm</i> is capable
-of gobbling alphabets as if there is no tomorrow. The package defines
-two limiter commands: <code>\</code><code>bmmax</code> (for <em>bold</em> symbols; default 4)
-and <code>\</code><code>hmmax</code> (for <em>heavy</em> symbols, if you have them;
-default 3), which control the number of alphabets to be used.
-<p/>Any reduction of the <code>\</code><code><em>xx</code>max</em> variables will slow
-<i>bm</i> down &#8212; but that&#8217;s surely better than the document not
-running at all. So unless you&#8217;re using maths fonts (such as
-<i>Mathtime Plus</i>) that feature a heavy symbol weight, suppress all
-use of heavy families by
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- \newcommand{\hmmax}{0}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-(before loading <i>bm</i>), and then steadily reduce the bold
-families, starting with
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- \newcommand{\bmmax}{3}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-(again before loading <i>bm</i>), until (with a bit of luck) the
-error goes away.
