Again, the problem is the result of using cmbase on a non-cm
font. Try using mf (or virmf or whatever the UnixTeX distribution
calls it).

A question for someone who's ordered the tape for UnixTeX rather
than FTPing it or somesuch... does the manual say anything about
when to use mf vs. cmmf? Just curious.
