I've just spent two days building the AMSFonts Version 2.0 at
406DPI for use on our laser printer.

My previous mailing about "problem with format of msym5.mf file"
seemed to be that the "MSYM" files are not supported by NEW
METAFONT and I should use the "MSAM" and "MSBM" fonts in
AMSFonts Version 2.0 from labrea.stanford.edu. Thanks for the
replies I got about this.

I now seemed to have a problem building the "Euler" family.
Some, eg euex10, build OK:-

	./virmf &cmplain \mode=localfont; input euex10
	This is METAFONT, C Version 1.5 (no base preloaded)
	(mfs/euex10.mf (mfs/ebigop.mf [82] [90]........etc

whereas others, eg eusm10, produce an error message, continue if
I press <RETURN> and then appear to run OK but do not produce
correct files:-

	./virmf &cmplain \mode=localfont; input eusm10
	This is METAFONT, C Version 1.5 (no base preloaded)
	(mfs/eusm10.mf (mfs/eusmch.mf (mfs/eubase.mf
	! Inconsistent equation (off by 0.0027).
	<to be read again>
                   ;
	l.17 h#=ptsize/programem;

	?
	) [48] [64] [65]........etc

If I use "testfont.tex" or try to print out the AMSFonts Version 2.0 
document I get no characters, ie just blank spaces. Anyone know
what I'm doing wrong here?

thanks in advance,
gerry
