[texhax] Odd behavior of \check at mathfonts

[Michael Barr]

Interesting, but I'll stick to my solution for the nonce.  The full code 
had been 
\ifx\check at mathfonts\undefined
\else \check at mathfonts
\fi

My diagxy macros work just as well in plain tex, but it seems that in 
plain tex those fonts were preloaded.
