Carl, Found the culprit. Thank you.

It is lasy7.afm, and it has this one and a bunch of floating-point numbers: ===== StartCharMetrics 17 C 1 ; WX 892.857 ; N a1 ; B 0 -75.673 892.857 575.673 ; C 2 ; WX 892.857 ; N a2 ; B 0 -185.467 892.857 685.466 ; C 3 ; WX 892.857 ; N a3 ; B 0 -75.673 892.857 575.673 ; C 4 ; WX 892.857 ; N a4 ; B 0 -185.467 892.857 685.466 ; C 32 ; WX 333.333 ; N space ; B 0 0 0 0 ; C 40 ; WX 400.794 ; N a40 ; B 0 115.919 400.794 384.077 ; C 41 ; WX 400.794 ; N a41 ; B 0 115.919 400.794 384.077 ; C 42 ; WX 585.317 ; N a42 ; B 0 -194.444 585.319 694.444 ; C 43 ; WX 585.317 ; N a43 ; B 0 -194.444 585.319 694.444 ; C 48 ; WX 831.349 ; N a48 ; B 0 0 831.351 683.333 ; C 49 ; WX 831.349 ; N a49 ; B 0 34.719 831.351 465.278 ; C 50 ; WX 802.778 ; N a50 ; B 0 34.719 802.78 465.278 ; C 51 ; WX 835.317 ; N a51 ; B 0 34.719 835.325 465.278 ; C 58 ; WX 769.841 ; N a58 ; B 0 115.919 769.841 384.077 ; C 59 ; WX 1138.89 ; N a59 ; B 0 115.919 1138.89 384.077 ; C 60 ; WX 892.857 ; N a60 ; B 0 -75.673 892.857 575.673 ; C 61 ; WX 892.857 ; N a61 ; B 0 -75.673 892.857 575.673 ; EndCharMetrics ==== > If so, you've found the culprit.

OK, I will look first what package installed this font. I will tell you later. Indeed, all the lasyN files in the same directrory have floating point numbers.
