My setup: TeX 3.14, LaTeX 2.09 <14 January 1991>, and
AMS-LaTeX 1.0 on top of that.
Anyway, I find the new font selection scheme extremely confusing.
That isn't my problem. This is:
I am using the Euler Fraktur font. I didn't have any problems
until today. I am now using the font in bold, and there are
bizarre problems. (I use, say, \boldsymbol{\frak R} to get
a bold Fraktur R.)
What happens is that some of the non-bold Fraktur characters come out
in script size! For example, in one line, there are three
Fraktur E's, each one of which is `normal', and there is one
bold Fraktur R. The three E's are produced with the same code
(it is a macro), but the middle one is in script size. No, it is
not in a subscript!
What's more, if I remove the occurrences of \boldsymbol (so all
the Fraktur symbols come out `normal'), the problem goes away!
Maybe someone should take a hard look at the code for \boldsymbol
and the routines it calls.
