[net.text] Missing italics in TeX

jst@wucs.UUCP (Jon Turner) (01/12/85)

I've been having troublie with italics that don't show up where
they're supposed to. I am using LaTeX with an Imagen 8/300 laser
printer. The problem arises when making slides using the \LARGE
font size in LaTeX. I get the italics in one instance, but subsequent
instances are printed in roman. One detail -- The font file I'm using
for amti10.r17 is derived from a pxl file obtained from University of
Washington (using the pxltorst utility) and it's not quite large
enough for a 17 point font, provoking a warning from dviimp, but so
far as I can tell dviimp goes ahead and uses it anyway. At least it
does for the first use of italics in the file. Anyone have any ideas?
