The only problem is that this promise is from 1985! Does anybody know >what the current policy of AMS about the amstex fonts is (if they have any)? The AMS has contracted a good Metafont person to translate all the Metafont 79 files (MSXM, MSYM...) into new Metafont. This includes what the 'Joy of TeX' calls 'Future Fonts', also the Blackboard bold characters. There may even be a MSZM font as well. I talked with this person last week and he is estimating that the project will be finished sometime this summer. ****************************************************************** David Mostardi "Guess what, Dad!
