I'm having trouble getting a friend set up with TeXtures, AMSFonts 2.1,
and LamSTeX on his Mac IIcx (running System 7).  This problem
seems to be with AMSFonts.

We are at our wits end on this one.  I am corresponding with him
via email, and have resorted to removing TeX entirely from my MacIIcx
(also running System 7) and reinstalling TeXtures (v 3.141),
AMSFonts 2.1, and LamSTeX (v. 2.01).  It works for me, but not for him.
When he tries to typeset a document using the Plain format, he
gets an error.  I've included the log file below.  We'd appreciate
any suggestions.

The problem appears to be that TeX can't find the metric for dummy.
It's my impression that this metric is contained in AMSFonts 2.1
Metrics, which we have.

The first two lines of the file he is trying to typeset are
         \input amstexl
         \input lamstex

I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.
