AMSFonts 2.0 Metafont sources

Here are a few notes about using the Metafont files:

1. Euler fonts

	1) These fonts were developed for use in AMS production ata
resolutions of 300dpi and greater.  Below that, particularly at the low
resolutions used for some screen previewers, you may get Metafont
errors.  Please ignore these error messages. The easiest way to do this is
to say "\scrollmode" at the beginning of your Metafont run.  The
characters at low resolutions will have some holes in them.  This is
expected. 


	2) Do not use a version of Metafont which has cmbase.mf
preloaded.  If, when you run Metafont, you see " preloaded base =
cmplain" or anything other than "preloaded base = plain," you should
recompile your Metafont executable file so that cmbase is not preloaded. 
This is because the Euler fonts use their own base file, eubase.mf,
which conflicts with cmbase. 


2. AMS Symbol fonts

The Blackboard Bold letters in msbm fonts were developed for use in AMS
production at resolutions of 300dpi and greater.  When generated at
resolutions below 300dpi (or at very small point sizes at 300dpi),
Metafont errors will occur.  See item (1) under Euler fonts for more
information about this. 

With certain mode_def's, msam5 will produce a Metafont error on the
clockwise circle (octal character 10; decimal character 8).  In most
cases, the character will still be drawn without flaws. 

Please let us know if you encounter any problems not mentioned above.
