Whatever the reason once was, it is no longer necessary, so feel free
to change amcsc10 to cmcsc10.  You'll still have to generate this font
at strange magnifications if you want to use it at 8pt and 9pt sizes.

One of these days I may finish the "real" cmcsc8 and cmcsc9 fonts that
I have been working on.  They will look much better than the reduced
versions of cmcsc10 that LaTeX is currently using.
