% \maketitle
% \begin{abstract}
%   The package defines the old font commands \cs{rm}, \cs{sf}, \cs{tt},
%   \cs{bf}, \cs{it}, and \cs{sc} that became obsolete with \LaTeXe{} and has
%   been removed from the \LaTeX{} kernel. It also defines the old
%   \href{https://komascript.de/}{\KOMAScript} font command \cs{sfb}. It can
%   be useful if you use a class like the
%   \href{https://komascript.de/}{\KOMAScript} classes, which do not define
%   the old commands by default, and also an old \BibTeX{} style or package,
%   that depends on these commands. However, it should be seen as an emergency
%   workaround rather than a solution.

With \LaTeXe{} in 1994 the font commands of \LaTeX~2.09 became obsolete. These
are not longer defined in the \LaTeX{} kernel. Instead of them, you should use
\cs{rmfamily} resp. \cs{textrm}, \cs{sffamily} resp. \cs{textsf},
\cs{ttfamily} resp. \cs{texttt}, \cs{bfseries} resp. \cs{textbf}, \cs{itshape}
resp. \cs{textit}, \cs{slshape} resp. \cs{textsl}, and \cs{scshape}
resp. \cs{testsc}. The old \href{https://komascript.de/}{\KOMAScript} command
\cs{sfb} should be replaced by a combination of \cs{sf} and \cs{bf}
resp. \cs{textsf} and \cs{textbf}. But unfortunately not only some old
\BibTeX{} styles but even some packages still use these obsolete commands. The
standard classes therefore still define them. The
\href{https://komascript.de/}{\KOMAScript} classes also define them, but only
to show an error message like:
\begin{verbatim}
  Class scrartcl Error: undefined old font command `\bf'.

  See the scrartcl class documentation for explanation.
  Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
   ...                                              

  l.3 \bf
\end{verbatim}
Within an interactive \LaTeX{} run you can get some more information typing
\texttt{H} and pressing the \texttt{return} key:
\begin{verbatim}
  You should note that since 1994 LaTeX2e provides a new font selection scheme
  called NFSS2 with several new, combinable font commands. KOMA-Script
  classes had defined the old font commands like `\bf' only for compatibility
  with old LaTeX 2.09 document styles of Script 2.0. Nevertheless, these
  commands are deprecated and undocumented at least since 2003. Since 2013
  KOMA-Script classes warned about soon removement of these deprecated commands.
  Now, after two decades of LaTeX2e and NFSS2, these commands will not work any
  more. If loading a package results in this error message, you should contact
  the author of that package and ask him to replace the deprecated font command
  `\bf', e.g., by `\normalfont \bfseries `. Otherwise you should reconfigure
  or replace the package. If you have used the old font command `\bf' yourself,
  you should replace it, e.g., by `\normalfont \bfseries '.
  To make it work for now, you can use the already also deprecated class option
  `enabledeprecatedfontcommands'.
\end{verbatim}
So to fix the issue, you could load the class with option
\opt{enabledeprecatedfontcommands}. But because this option is also
deprecated, this would result in warning messages like:
\begin{verbatim}
  Class scrartcl Warning: deprecated option `enabledeprecatedfontcommands'.
  (scrartcl)              Note, that this option was already depreacted when
  (scrartcl)              it has been defined. Support for old font commands
  (scrartcl)              has been removed from KOMA-Script more than one
  (scrartcl)              decade ago. It is not recommended to use them any
  (scrartcl)              longer. Therefore usage of this class option also
  (scrartcl)              is not recommended.
\end{verbatim}
and:
\begin{verbatim}
  Class scrartcl Warning: deprecated old font command `\bf' used.
  (scrartcl)              You should note, that since 1994 LaTeX2e provides a
  (scrartcl)              new font selection scheme called NFSS2 with several
  (scrartcl)              new, combinable font commands. New KOMA-Script classes
  (scrartcl)              defined the old font commands like `\bf' only for
  (scrartcl)              compatibility with LaTeX 2.09 document styles of
  (scrartcl)              Script 2.0. These commands are deprecated and
  (scrartcl)              undocumented at least since 2003. Since 2013,
  (scrartcl)              KOMA-Script classes warned about soon removement of
  (scrartcl)              these deprecated commands. Now, after two decades of
  (scrartcl)              LaTeX2e, NFSS2, and KOMA-Script these commands will
  (scrartcl)              not work any longer. If loading a package results in
  (scrartcl)              this message you should contact the author of that
  (scrartcl)              package and ask him to replace the depracted font
  (scrartcl)              command `\bf', e.g., by `\normalfont \bfseries '.
  (scrartcl)              Otherwise you should reconfigure or replace the
  (scrartcl)              package. If you have used the old font command
  (scrartcl)              `\bf' yourself you should replace it, e.g., by
  (scrartcl)              `\normalfont \bfseries ' on input line ….
\end{verbatim}
As an alternative you can load package \pkg*{defoldfonts}.

The package should be loaded in the preamble using:
\begin{verbatim}
  \usepackage{defoldfonts}
\end{verbatim}
Usually the order of \pkg*{defoldfonts} and other packages is irrelevant.
