Well, soon after I posted the last message we figured out a fix to
the problem.  There is nothing wrong with the cmmi8 font.  Rather it
has to do with the QMS RAM.  There seems to be a bad spot in RAM, a 
bad memory chip perhaps, and the font that happens to get downloaded
to that area is the one that causes problems.  The temporary fix that
I did for now is to put a dummy font at that location.  So things are
more or less back to normal and we will have QMS do a test of RAM the
next time they are around.

Thanks,
