If you use this setup and produce dvi files using these sizes, be very
careful if you give the dvi files so created to someone using
classical bitmap versions of the cm fonts. Depending on how their
system is set up they will either not be able to print the file at
all, as they will not have the fonts at the corrrect sizes, or the
system will make all these strange sizes `on demand' and fill the
disk with bitmaps.

Basically, you need BlueSky/Y&Y Type1 CM fonts installed.
Dekel, have I got this right?
