Bug#100822: Missing Postscript fonts for msam and msbm



Package: tetex-extra
Version: 1.0.2+20000804-7

The math blackboard font \mathbb{} from the amsfonts style file uses fonts
whose names start with msbm.  Some sizes of the font msbm are only
included as METAFONT input (.mf) and TeX font metrics (.tfm), but not as a
Postscript Font Binary (.pfb) files.  The Postscript fonts are essential
when one wants to generate good-quality PDF files e.g. with dvipdfm.

Only the files msbm5.pfb, msbm7.pfb and msbm10.pfb are included with
tetex-extra. CTAN:fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/pfb/ lists also the sizes 6, 8
and 9.  The same applies to the msam fonts that presumably also belong to
the amsfonts package.
