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 — but that’s surely better than the document not -running at all.
