They were -designed using the ‘old’ Metafont, which wasn’t portable and is no longer -available; for a long time they were only available in 300dpi versions -which only imperfectly matched modern printers. The AMS has -now redesigned the fonts, using the current version of Metafont, and the -new versions are called the <i>msa</i> and <i>msb</i> -families. -<p/>Nevertheless, <i>msx</i> and <i>msy</i> continue to turn up to -plague us. There are, of course, still sites that haven’t got around -to upgrading; but, even if everyone upgraded, there would still be the -problem of old documents that specify them. -<p/>If you have a <code>.tex</code> source that requests <i>msx</i> and -<i>msy</i>, the best technique is to edit it so that it requests -<i>msa</i> and <i>msb</i> (you only need to change the single -letter in the font names). -<p/>If you have a DVI file that requests the fonts, there is a package -of <a href="FAQ-virtualfonts.html">virtual fonts</a> to map the old to the new series. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>msa and msb fonts</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/amsfonts.zip">fonts/amsfonts</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/amsfonts/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/amsfonts.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>virtual font set</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/vf-files/msx2msa.zip">fonts/vf-files/msx2msa</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/vf-files/msx2msa/">browse the directory</a>) -</dl> -<p/> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=msxy">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=msxy</a> -</body> |
