Thanks for responding so quickly. I did some experiments last night to
make sure it was easily reproducible. The problem arises when both
MATH_SCALE_FACTOR and EXTRA_IMAGE_SCALE are larger than 1. In the example
below, I've set them both to 2, but other values give similar results.
The example is at
http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/index.html
I've put the debug information at
http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/debug.log
and the lthconf.pm file at
http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/l2hconf.pm
along with the tex file at
http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~rcliffor/scaled/scaled.tex.
Thanks again
Raf
