Open bugs:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: eusmch.mf, eufmch.mf, eurmch.mf
Date reported: 1997/11/01 (Matthias Clasen) latexbug amslatex/2657

Wrong glyph dimensions:
   Depth of letter Y in eusm, can be fixed by replacing
         charbegin( "Y", 2006h#, capheight*v#, baseline );
   with  charbegin( "Y", 2006h#, capheight*v#, 2/3descender*v# );
Other glyphs with suspicious dimensions:
   eusmch.mf -- character 120 (smss)
   eufmch.mf -- letter j
   eurmch.mf -- character 125 (gm175)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: bsymbols.mf
Date reported: 1997/09/26 (Ulrik Vieth)

digamma ("stylized F", oct"172") is not affected by parameter changes.
Elliptical pen defined in terms of rule_thickness should be redefined in
terms of CM parameters.

Hebrew letters beth, gimel, daleth also don't seem to be affected by
parameter changes (unlike the aleph from cmsy10).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: cyracc.def
Date reported: 1997/09/04 (Tomasz Michniewski)

Add documentation to the header that says this file is for use only with
plain TeX, not LaTeX.  Latexbug amslatex/2597 reported that this does not
work with babel, but it was never designed to.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: cmbsy*.mf
Date reported: 1997/08/31 (Matthias Clasen) latexbug amslatex/2593

In cmbsy7.mf, crisp#:=11pt#, should be crisp#:=11/36pt#.
Affects spacing around vertical arrows.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: serb.mf
Date reported: 1997/01/14 (barbara beeton)

Letter "short I" is excessively high; this is demonstrated in AMSFonts User's
Guide chart, where it is centered rather than on baseline because it exceeds
the expected height (wncyr, wncyi).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: bsymbols.mf
Date reported: 1996/06/24 (Ernst Reissner)

Hebrew letter gimel lacks the notch at lower right, and thus has the shape
of the letter nun.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: ebigop.mf
Date reported: 1996/02/15 (Frank Jensen)

There are no real characters associated with positions oct"100", oct"101"
so TeX reports "missing character" for
  extensible oct"100": oct"070",0,oct"073",oct"076";  % left moustache
  extensible oct"101": oct"071",0,oct"072",oct"076";  % left moustache
This could be cured by changing these as follows:
  extensible oct"074": oct"070",0,oct"073",oct"076";  % left moustache
  extensible oct"075": oct"071",0,oct"072",oct"076";  % left moustache
Because Metafont shouldn't permit this, bug should be submitted to DEK.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: eufmch.mf
Date reported: 1995/10/14 (Christian Schwarz)

Rule for minus is too thin; it disappears on previewer.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: xbbase.mf
Date reported: 1995/07/21 (Denis B. Roegel)

Letter \Bbb N has the wrong shape at certain resolutions; presumably the
result of a typo in the definition of leftserif@ :
           if ypart A>ypart B:reverse fi
should be  if ypart A>ypart Bl:reverse fi

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: amssymb.sty
Date reported: 1995/03/28 (Andreas Amann) latexbug amslatex/1524

Braces (from cmex) in \small environment are larger than those in \normalsize.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: amsfonts.sty
Date reported: 1996/03/03 (Joerg Knappen) latexbug amslatex/2096

\Bbb, \frak and \bold caused endless loop (in titles, not in ordinary text)
owing to a misdefinition of \@obsolete; fixed by making these robust commands
with one argument.

Corrected: 1996/11/03
Version: 2.2c
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: amsfonts.sty
Date reported: 1995/02/02 (Piet van Oostrum) latexbug amslatex/1415

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: cmmib*.mf
Date reported: 13 Jul 1993

The values of "crisp" in cmmib*.mf (except cmmib9.mf) are incorrect: The
values are whole numbers which should be divided by 36 (as the values for
cmmib10 and cmmib9 are). 

Corrected: 3-Jan-1995
Version: 2.2
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: amssym.tex
Date reported: 1-Jul-1992 (M. Spivak)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
File: amssym.def
Date reported: 14-Mar-1993 (bnb)

Space at the end of \mathhexbox@ calls is wrong. Doesn't disappear if
used outside of math mode.

Version: 2.2
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Reported:  19-NOV-1991  wncy*.tfm, wncy?.mf
Reported by:  Piet Tutelaers (rcpt@urc.tue.nl)

In the cyrillic fonts, the ligature commands for e0 and i0 are reversed
(i0 produces \"e and e0 produces \u\i).  For an interim fix, the .tfm
files can be run through TFtoPL, changes made in the .pl files to the
affected ligature instructions, and the .pl files run through PLtoTF.
Thomas Ridgeway notified 23-DEC-1991 (bnb).

Corrected: 26-Aug-93
Version: 2.1a
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Reported:  12-DEC-1991  
File: userdoc.tex

p. 21, under "negated arrows", \leftarrow should be \nleftarrow.
Reference number (now 2320) should be 2338, and arrow should be slashed.

Corrected: 24-DEC-1991  bnb
Version: 2.1b
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Reported:  22-SEP-1991   
File: eubase.mf

Euler fonts generate characters at the wrong height when the aspect
ratio is not 1. John Hobby suggested a fix which NGB inserted at the top
of the file. 

Corrected: 5-NOV-1991   NGB
Version: 2.1a
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Reported: 27-SEP-1991   xbbold characters

There is an incompatibility between the code for Blackboard Bold and the
code in Karl Berry's modes.mf. The result is that characters generated with a
magnification other than \magstep0 come out larger than they should.

Corrected: 15-OCT-1991  NGB
Version:  2.1a
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Reported: 17-SEP-1991 ebigop.mf (euex)

Integral signs appear slanted; in Euler they should be upright.
NGB consulted John Hobby, who provided instructions which corrected
the problem.

Corrected: 25-SEP-1991  NGB
