the nice thing about LaTeX is that sometimes you try to figure out why your font isn't the right size and end up reading documentation from a time when MS-DOS was extremely relevant

@lm I would ask on tex.stackexchange. A lot of the LaTeX developers hang out there, including some that remember compiling latex to try and get it to run on their C64s.
