Thanks, I reported it to AMS but maybe that was not the right place. Where should I report the bug? /Erik - Erik Friskemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Electrical Engineering tel:+46 13 285714 Linköping Universityfax:+46 13 282035 S-581 83 Linköping SWEDEN www.fs.isy.liu.se/~frisk -
Re: Mathfrak-bug?
Hi,
Debugging shows that this bug is in amslatex, and more specifically,
in the files amsmath.sty and amsgen.sty, where they mess around redefining
the \@ifnextchar command (i don't know why they want to do that).
if you insert this into the document (e.g. just after the \begin{document}):
\makeatletter
\let\new@ifnextchar\@ifnextchar
\let\new@ifnch\@ifnch
\makeatother
then error will disappear...
Please report this to LaTeX bug tracking system (as an AMSLaTeX bug),
so they can fix the bug.
Best,
v.

That seems to be a genuine AMSfonts bug, and as such has nothing to do
with teTeX. FWIW, I see the same problem with teTeX beta-20021029.
The first occurence of \mathfrak triggers the loading of a font
description file. This happens within a matrix environment, and
that environment (like so many AMSmath environments) is quite
complex. I guess it reads its contents and tries to expand macros
along the way, and that plays havoc with the file inclusion.
A workaround is to use \mathfrak before you get to the matrix
environment. For example, use it in a throwaway box:
\setbox0\hbox{$\mathfrak{a}$}
(before \begin{document} is fine). Then the problem goes away.
But you might wish to report this to the AMSfonts maintainers as well.

Mathfrak-bug?
Hi,
below is a document that fails with teTeX-beta 20020530 (unfortunately I
have no possibility to try the latest beta). There seem to be some
problems with \mathfrak and AMSfonts since the text
[2002/01/19v2.2gAMSfontdefinitions] appears in the middle of the matrix.
I tested this with the MikTeX-distribution I am currently "stuck" with and
it shows the same problem. TeTeX 1.0, 1.0.7, and beta 2001-12-18 all
compiled the document without problems.
Is this fixed in the latest beta or something new?
Regards,
Erik
