The 8.3 latex packs don't include fancyheadings.sty nor simplemargins.sty;
while these are not standard packages, I'm pretty sure lots of Athena users
have gotten used to having them in 8.2 & in the newtex locker.
The tools and graphics packages, about which the latex2e user's guide
(/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros/latex/usrguide.tex) says
The following software should be available from the same distributor
as your copy of \LaTeXe. You should obtain at least the
\textsf{graphics} and \textsf{tools} collections in order to have all
the files described in \emph{\LaTeXbook}.
are also absent. Given that recommendation and its basis I'd say
we should have them. (I think newtex has all of them, so Athena 2e users
are used to having them, also.)
The metafont stuff appears to be somewhat bogusly set up; with

This is a lot of time and effort and feedback and warnings for it to be doing
every single time for a three-character document :-) I'm not at all convinced
it's actually using the fonts it's trying to generate there, either.
