   I'm a little stuck.  In an older LaTeX style I have the following:


   \def\@normalsize{\@setsize\normalsize{13.6pt}\xipt\@xipt
   \abovedisplayskip 11pt plus3pt minus6pt\belowdisplayskip \abovedisplayskip
   \abovedisplayshortskip \z@ plus3pt\belowdisplayshortskip 6.5pt plus3.5pt
   minus3pt\let\@listi\@listI} <

  (lots of similar lines deleted)

   But now I am using NFSS with LaTeX 2.09 which works fine on all my other  
   documents that don't have explicity reference to \xipt etc.  Being a  
   novice at setting up fonts in TeX (the NFSS setup took me awhile), what  
   sequence should I convert the xipt etc to in order to map them into the  
   NFSS sequences for LaTeX?  I am using psfonts.sty that comes with David  
   Jones's psfonts package.  This sets up the fonts with the proper x spacing  
   and all.  All I have to include is David Jone's times.sty (not Tom Rick  
   and dvips) to get times fonts.  How do I do the mapping!

The piece of code you are showing is definitely NOT the source of the
problem, as it is basically the same as in the standard document
styles.

For redefinitions of \xpt, etc, use the file rawfonts.tex, supplied
with psnfss by Sebastian Rahtz, and with the next update of NFSS
(coming soon).
