How do I go about doing this without breaking anything? I would like
the triolet number to be typeset in six-point font size rather than
eight-point, and to that end I tried to define \sixit on the analogy
of \eightit (i.e. \font\sixit=\fontid ti0600). This works, but
subsequently redefining \txt in terms of \sixit (i.e.
\def\txt{\sixit3}) causes problems with \triolet.
Could someone please tell me where I'm going wrong? I append the
contents of the test file I've been using and the error report from
the log file.
