Math formula deleted: Insufficient extension fonts. [etc] I've run into this one before. As Victor said, the \text-, \script- and \scriptscriptfont of family 3 need to be set. The problem I discovered was that these *don't* persist through a \dump and preload. I had created a .fmt file, which did a \@normalsize; when I preloaded the .fmt, I didn't do another \@normalsize, and I got this error. The answer here was to do a \@normalsize after preloading the format. In summary: the problem may be something to do with trying to use maths before having setting up the extension fonts with \@normalsize. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* | Jeremy Gibbons (jg@uk.ac.oxford.prg) Funky Monkey Multimedia Corp | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*
