\leq and \le (was RE: Small Caps problem with New Baskerville font)

    * \leq & \geq problem
    Kopka & Daly say that \leq and \le produce the same symbol (likewise with
    \geq and \ge)-- but  they don't!  As your reference suggests, \leq does
    indeed appear as \leqslant and \geq appears as \geqslant.  To get what I am
    after \le and \ge works.

according to what's in the core latex files, kopka & daly
are correct -- \leq = \le .  and \leqslant is from the
ams symbol fonts.  here are the definitions from the
relevant files:

  fontmath.ltx:

    \DeclareMathSymbol{\leq}{\mathrel}{symbols}{"14}
    \let\le=\leq

  amssymb.sty:

    \DeclareMathSymbol{\leqq}         {\mathrel}{AMSa}{"35}
    \DeclareMathSymbol{\leqslant}     {\mathrel}{AMSa}{"36}

(and similarly for the \g... symbols.)

your job must be reading in some file that redefines
\leq and \geq.  if you extract from the log file a
list of the files being read, it should be relatively
easy to identify where this is happening.
