LaTeX Font Warning
Marko Pinteric
What should I do when I het a bunch of errors of the type:
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmr/m/n' in size <13> not available
(Font) size <12> substituted on input line 11.
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmr/m/n' in size <6.5> not available
(Font) size <6> substituted on input line 11.
Thank you for Your help!

If the results are acceptable, do nothing. If they are not acceptable,
try the type1cm package. This allows the cm fonts to be scaled to any
size instead of only discrete steps. It does not require that you
actually use the type1 versions of the cm fonts, but if you don't you
will get lots of PK files being created at these unusual sizes.

these aren't errors, they're warnings that you're using knuth's fonts
in non-knuthian sizes. the substitutions are knuthian sizes.
probably, whoever designed the layout you're using didn't expect it to
be used with knuth's fonts. so your first step is to check whether
you have the right fonts selected.
if it proves impossible for you to use the required fonts, consider
whether these size substitutions are ok. if not, \usepackage{type1cm}
is probably a good scheme; if you're unable to use type1 versions of
the cm fonts, you'll get an awful lot of font bitmaps generated by
your dvi processor(s).

Jumping in on this (now) bandwagon, I use pkg
\usepackage{stmaryrd} %Extra math symbols
and get this warning:
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `U/stmry/b/n' undefined
(Font) using `U/stmry/m/n' instead on input line 65.
Q1: I *think* that the results are ok; but what are
`U/stmry/b/n' and `U/stmry/m/n'?
Q2: I am loathe to get in the habit of ignoring "Warning"s,
since some are not innocuous. Is there a way for me to direct
LaTeX to not print this innocuous warning, if it is indeed
such? (NOTE: Adjoining \usepackage{type1cm} did not remove
the warning.) Sincerely, -Jonathan

the results are not ok. you're using a stmaryrd symbol in a section
title (or the like) and latex isn't finding the bold stmaryrd font
(.../b/n) you apparently want, and is using the medium weight version
of the family (.../m/n) instead.

it's not an innocuous warning: you asked latex to do something and
latex couldn't do it, for lack of a particular font. because latex
has the fallbacks programmed in, it was able to proceed, but it
doesn't like doing so without telling you.
>(NOTE: Adjoining \usepackage{type1cm} did not remove

it wouldn't. type1cm gives you extra flexibility in the _sizes_ of
fonts; your complaint was about a font _shape_ ... an entirely
different beast.

The first is a BOLD font of the stmary family; since it does not
exists, LaTeX defaults to the normal weight ("m").

Yes, do not use these symbols in a \textbf environment :-)

The instructions said to use Windows 98 or better - so I installed FreeBSD.

`b' and `m' are for the bold and medium series of this font,
respectively; `U' is for encoding `Unknown' (for a special font),
and `n' is for normal shape (for more information on these, see
fntguide.dvi; also the `Companion' has a chapter on LaTeX2e font
selection).
So what happens is that the bold version of stmry gets replaced
by the normal one, on line 65 of your input file. The strange
thing is that `b' is requested, whereas \bfseries would normally
select `bx' = `bold extended'. You may want to have a look at the
code on this line to find out why this happens.

First of all, thank you for your answer. I was unable to read it sooner,
but I still have a couple of questions.
1. Your suggestion to use package type1c takes care of all errors except one:
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/cmr/m/n' in size <13> not available
(Font) size <12> substituted on input line 10.
Is it possible to remove that one too?
2. What confuses me most that I do not see any difference in the print-
out. I should at least see 10% bigger fonts, but everything is just
identical!
This 10% difference is an important one because I must see exactly how much
space I have for the article in the scientific newspaper.
3. Finally, what about Sauter source? It should manage CM scalable.
Do you know how to set-up MikTeX so they could be used automatically?
Thanks again very much,
Marko

no. type1cm only deals with ot1 fonts (because it was originally
written for people using the cm type 1 fonts, of course).

not necessarily: the size adjustment we see above was less than 8%.
without seeing all the font complaints you have now got rid of, it's
hard to be sure. apart from the 13->12 one above (which is presumably
a title or something), the only one i seem to have seen last time you
posted was
>> >LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmr/m/n' in size <6.5> not available

>> >(Font) size <6> substituted on input line 11.
failing to see a 0.5pt change in an infrequently-used font in your
document isn't (it seems to me) terribly surprising. how many of
these substitution errors did you have in the first place? what sizes
were being substituted? what size is the base document font?
>3. Finally, what about Sauter source? It should manage CM scalable.
it will (in a sense) but it won't make any difference: you can achieve
pretty much the same result by using type1cm without sauter, and you
need type1cm to use the full abilities of the sauter fonts with latex.
you should remember that the restriction on sizes available is imposed
by latex, not by the provision of fonts.
>Do you know how to set-up MikTeX so they could be used automatically?
no. to first order, i know nothing about miktex.

13 is transformed in 12 and 6.5 in 6. I was told that this unusual fonts are used
only in the author list (I suppose that the first is main text and the second
super/subscripts. Anyway, when I put printed text with or without using type1cm
against each other, they match perfectly. Anyway, it is no longer a matter of
importance as I have sent the article as it is. If something won't be OK, it is
their fault because they did not provide a normal class for writing articles.
Thank you for your answers and effort.
