Hi! I've experienced the following problem with the latex/amslatex distribution: If I use a different ulasy.fd file (for the sauter fonts), the amslatex crashes at least with the multline* environment: The problem happens when the NEW ulasy.fd file is loaded after the amsmath-package. But if I load the ulasy.fd at format time or I use the ulasy.fd from the distribution, everything is ok. Where is the problem? Following is the new ulasy.fd, a testfile, and the log from the run. I use also the latest amslatex dist. from CTAN. I use a different ulasy.fd file: %% %% This *was* file `Ulasy.fd', %% \ProvidesFile{ulasy.fd} [1996/11/20 v2.2d Sauter LaTeX symbol font definitions] \providecommand{\sauter@family}[5]{% \DeclareFontShape{#1}{#2}{#4}{#5} { <5> #35 <6> #36 <7> #37 <8> #38 <9> #39 <10> #310 <10.95> #311 <12> #312 <14.4> #314 <17.28> #317 <20.74> #320 <24.88> #325 }{}% } \DeclareFontFamily{U}{lasy}{} \sauter@family{U}{lasy}{lasy}{m}{n} \sauter@family{U}{lasy}{lasyb}{b}{n} \endinput %% %% End of file `Ulasy.fd'. % % Testfile % \documentclass{article} \usepackage{latexsym} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{multline*} x \end{multline*} \end{document} % eof % % from the log-file: % ... !
