This is caused by a skew between the versions of the .tfm file you used
when you ran latex, and pk file. It is probably not a severe problem,
but it's nothing that's easily fixed, because the font is preloaded in
the Athena latex, which makes it difficult to override. I suppose I
could dump new format files and make the setup script in outland change
the value of TEXFORMATS, but if I'm going to do that, I might as well
just install the new version of TeX. Just ignore it for now. lasy10 is
just used for some goofy math symbol you've used, anyway.
It's this kind of fiasco that makes me want to not preload fonts at all.
Maybe I won't. Machines are fast now.
