\def\filedate{90/10/09}

This file contains problem-records and bug-reports.  Unsolved problems
and uncorrected but known bugs (so called features) start out with two
exclamation marks before the number.  Fixed problems will start with two
asterisks. 


!! (1)  FMi 90/04/05: \process@table will never be called in the letter
        style, or more exactly in any style that redefines \document. 
        This means that you can't use math alphabet identifiers in letters.
        This is a problem of the upgrade to LaTeX 2.10 and will vanish
        then.  A fix for LaTeX 2.09 styles is to insert \process@table
        immediately before
            \def\do ....
        inside any redefinition of the \document command.


** (2)  FMi 90/04/05: \makelabels in letter will cause an error because \xpt
        is redefined to \@preamerr after \document.
        FMi 90/06/03: Fixed by redefining \xpt inside \xpt. (v1.1j lfonts.doc)

!! (3)  FMi 90/04/05: Problems similar to (1) will be encountered in
        style files that redefine internals like \@outputpage, etc. 

** (4)  SPQR 90/05/22: In oldlfont.sty and newlfont.sty we forgot to
        add the lasy math alphabet identifier to the math versions.
        FMi 90/05/24: fixed.

** (5)  MDo 90/06/08: An \hbox{\small ...} in vertical mode will be
        placed into the vertical list using the \baselineskip current
        inside the box not the one outside the box.  Temp. fix: use
        extra braces to keep the change from \small local.  Final fix
        will move part of the code from \gbl@settings into \selectfont.
        FMi 90/06/24: fixed.

** (6)  DH  90/06/18: \hbox instead of \mbox was used in \text.
        FMi 90/06/24: fixed.

** (7)  DH  90/06/29: oldlfont.sty shouldn't be read in twice to
        avoid math group overflow.
        FMi 90/06/29: fixed.

** (8)  MDo 90/06/28: \no@font@help message was too long for some
        version of TeX (buffer size).  
        FMi 90/06/30: fixed by shortening the error message.
        We recommend increase of buffer size to at least 2000!!!!!

** (9)  FMi (long known): In certain cases \addtoversion would produce
        a misleading error message.
        RmS 90/06/30: Fixed by adding another error message text.
        
** (10) MDo 90/07/05: Stupid typo in v1.2l of fam.doc. First assigned
        user value and then default value in \extra@def.
        FMi 90/07/05: Fixed by exchanging.  

** (11) JBr 90/07/06: Another stupid typo in v1.2i of oldlfont.sty
        where a necessary \fi was preceeded by %.
        FMi 90/07/06: Fixed by removing the percent.

** (12) FMi 90/07/07: While changing the interface a few days ago
        I forgot to remove a \the\toks@ in \define@mathgroup.  This
        enlarged the versions by a power of two resulting in some loss
        of performance.  
        FMi: fixed five minutes later. 

** (13) DH  90/07/10: In fam.doc a missing percent in \sub@fontshape
        could produce an extra space if a font is loaded in horizontal
        mode.
        FMi 90/07/11: fixed.

** (14) MDo 90/07/10: Used \ifx\undefined\ds@oldlfont instead of
        \@ifundefined{ds@oldlfont} so that oldlfont was never loaded
        in a \documentstyle command. (Another of those stupid things)
        FMi 90/07/11: Fixed.  

** (15) RmS 90/09/02: Fix for (14) was incorrect since \@ifundefined is
        not available before latex.tex is loaded.
        FMi 90/09/02: Fixed by inserting its definition directly.  

!! (16) FMi 90/10/02: Dr. David Love reported that \paragraph{Test} {\sl AB}
        would produce a bold slanted heading the newlfont option.
        This is actually not an error of the font selection scheme but
        a problem with LaTeX 2.09. If the newlfont option is used, it is
        necessary that at some places in a style file all font parameters
        are specified. Currently the LaTeX styles specify only \normalsize
        \bf in headings.  In this case one has to reset the wrong font
        parameter by hand, e.g., \paragraph{\normalshape Test} in the
        case above.  As similar problem will arise when a footnote is
        encountered during the scope of \sf etc.  This problem will
        vanish with the new LaTeX. 

** (17) DH  90/10/04: It seems better to substitute cmti for cmu fonts
        which are not available since this font is mainly used for the
        \pound symbol. (Who likes to get pounds converted to dollars in
        a footnote?)
        FMi 90/10/09: Changed.

** (18) FMi 90/10/12: FJe reported that changes to \baselinestretch
        in the preamble do not affect the setting of \baselineskip.
        FMi 90/10/12: Fixed by forcing a reinitialisation in 
        \begin{document}
