So OLC has a stock answer on using BaKoMa postscript fonts, which
makes for much better pdf file generation from latex output.
The 8.4 version of dvips is unhappy using these fonts; the error is
This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2000.08.28:0836' -> fe.ps
<texc.pro><texps.pro><special.pro>.
</afs/athena.mit.edu/contrib/tex-contrib/BaKoMa/pfb/cmmi10.pfb> First number not found
ERROR in encoding vector in </afs/athena.mit.edu/contrib/tex-contrib/BaKoMa/pfb/cmmi10.pfb>[28] %
Using the dvips in newtex doesn't create this problem.
(The same sort of error occurs in other postscript font-using
situations, but this is probably the most common)
