This is a tough one. I don't suspect you're an overly ambitious
hacker, in which case I would have told you
   ``you need to fill both the \textfont, \scriptfont, and
     \scriptscriptfont of family 3''
because your message indicates that at least one of these has not
been given a font. If you're just running a macro/font package,
you must have overlooked something, or there is an error.

Sorry I can't help you any further that this.
