39Nonnumeric ypart has been replaced by 0
48I thought you were giving me a pair `(x,y)'; but

54A bracketed subscript must have a known numeric value;

36you might want to type `I ???' now.)
45Undefined x coordinate has been replaced by 0
51I need a `known' x value for this part of the path.
45Undefined y coordinate has been replaced by 0
51I need a `known' y value for this part of the path.
49I've scanned a direction spec for part of a path,
39so a right brace should have come next.

43A curl must be a known, nonnegative number.

36will look for the y coordinate next.
45A path join command should end with two dots.

53The expression above should have been a number >=3/4.
46Paths don't touch; `&' will be changed to `..'

49must be exactly equal to the starting point of q.

28Extra tokens will be flushed
59I've just read as much of that statement as I could fathom,

35Invalid code has been replaced by 0
54I was looking for a number between 0 and 255, or for a
55string of length 1. Didn't find it; will use 0 instead.
10Character

05code 
12 is already 
13in a ligtable
13in a charlist
51It's not legal to label a character more than once.
17Improper location
43I was looking for a known, positive number.
50For safety's sake I'll ignore the present command.
56A colon should follow a headerbyte or fontinfo location.
21Illegal ligtable step
38I was looking for `=:' or `kern' here.

02=:
03=:|
04=:|>
03|=:
04|=:>
04|=:|
05|=:|>
06|=:|>>
04kern
15Too far to skip
57At most 127 lig/kern steps can separate skipto1 from 1::.
13Improper kern
51The amount of kern should be a known numeric value.
39I'm processing `extensible c: t,m,b,r'.
23Improper font parameter
06(some 
41 values had to be adjusted by as much as 
03pt)
47(illegal design size has been changed to 128pt)
