PiCTeX under LaTeX2e gives error about \fiverm

When I use PiCTeX with LaTeX2e the typesetter claims \fiverm is an Undefined control sequence.

PiCTeX was originally designed to be used with Plain TeX and LaTeX 2.09. LaTeX 2e emulates LaTeX 2.09 well, but does not by default load the numerous fonts used by the older version. Since PiCTeX depends on some of these old fonts being loaded, you must request that LaTeX2e load all the old fonts by using the rawfonts package.

  • If you are using LaTeX in compatibility mode (i.e. you use \documentstyle), include rawfonts in the options list:
\documentstyle[rawfonts]{article}
     If you already have options listed, append it to end of the list
\documentstyle[11pt,fleqn,rawfonts]{article}
  • If you are using LaTeX in 2e mode, add a package statement as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{rawfonts}
