We have recently installed the new lightning Textures 1.5. Immediately
we faced some problems with the fonts and of course we suspected that 
there was a font-id conflict. We went through the very unpleaseant
procedure of resolving the id-conflict and everything was ok except for
the following bugs:

1) When one has a LaTeX-file, some of the characters in the titelpage don't print
   correctly. As an example:

   The source file for MuTeX user`s Guide starts with the following lines:

   \typeout{}
   \typeout{}
   \typeout{MuTeX User's Guide Version 1.1 <29 August 1989>}
   \typeout{Note: Run LaTeX three times to resolve cross-references.}
   \typeout{}

   \def\MuTeX{M\kern-.15em \raise.2ex\hbox{\lowercase{u}}\kern-.32em T%
   \kern-.1667em \lower.5ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125em X}
   \def\MF{{\small{METAFONT}}}

   \documentstyle[12pt]{report}
   \pagestyle{headings}

   \begin{document}

   \title{   \MuTeX \\
           User's Guide\\ 
   {\normalsize (Version 1.1)}} 

   The U`s in the \title{...} don`t print and there are some more characters 
   that doesn`t display or print. Maybe I haven't installed the LaTeX-fonts 
   correctly or I don`t have the very latest version of LaTeX (currently I`m
   using version 2.09 7 Dec 89). I think that at least the installation of the
   LaTeX-fonts are correct.

2) The ligatures don`t display correctly and the \not charcater doesn`t display
   correctly. However they print correctly.

Until recently, these were the only problems. But after we did an installation
of Mathematica 2.01 on the Macintosh, suddenly nothing worked. Things like
integral signs and square root signs didn`t display or print correctly. We
contacted Blue Sky Research but they didn`t bother to even answer, so now I`m
wondering what the problem is and what to do. Finally, let me mention that I`m
using a Macintosh IIfx with system 7.
