The following LaTeX file:
\documentstyle{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{footnotesize}
Test: \(a + \mbox{\boldmath $x \pi$} - \rho\).
\end{footnotesize}
\end{document}
produces
This is TeX, C Version 3.0

which represents the problem in a nutshell. The only direct reference
to this message is found in file addendum.tex, which lists errata for
the LaTeX manual, and says
page 129
The following LaTeX warning messages should be listed:
No ... typeface in this size, using ...
A type style declaration specified a type style and size combination
that is not available, so LaTeX is substituting another one.
which is just ever so helpful, but doesn't add much to the error
message. Grepping (?) reveals that the message is displayed by a
macro called @subfont in file lfonts.tex. The macro is called in
several places in the file, but my abilities grind to a halt when I
try to glean why, and how I might force LaTeX to:
1. not display the message
2. use a reasonable substitute font for \boldmath, not some
non-bold font.
HELP!
