(Concerning olc question topic: ez, user: abhijit - not yet in discuss)
Basically, we have a double spaced, 3 page ez document, with no formatting
save that everything is in typewriter font, and italic.
From the decstation, the document prints, with the first page
typewriter-italic, and subsequent pages in the default ez serif font, no
italics.
From the rs6000, the whole document prints in typewriter font, but no italics.
Note: if I print the document using ezprint, I get the error:
troff: Font CO too big for position 0; line 29, file -
I finally managed to get the entire document to print in italic-typewriter,
*except* for two lines on the last page. I did this by inserting more or less
random \typewriter{\italic text...}} clauses into the ascii file. However, no
matter what I do, i can't get those two lines to change.
The files (Paper_2, the original ez document, and Paper_2.txt, the modified
ascii file) can be found in /mit/othomas/tmp/.
Sounds like a bug, but if I'm missing something obvious, please let me know.
Thanks,
