        Dear DECUS TeX People:

        I have just installed the latest version of DECUS TeX.  Everything
I have tried works fine except for DVILN03, which fails with an error message 
saying:

Error: character NN invalid in font 

where NN is one of several numbers.  A sample run is shown below.  Note that as
far as LATEX is concerned, I have a valid file, and it produces a DVI file.
Do I have something misconfigured, or is there a bug here?

                Thanks in advance,

                Tom Wallis
