Re: typography in dbprint.dsl


/ david aumueller <lists@huah.org> was heard to say:
| (1) In docbook-dsssl-1.76 italic monospace and strong monospace do not
| inherit verbatim-size-factor. Parts of my new dbprint.dsl [see below].

Uhm, I'm very confused. dbprint.dsl already has the verbatim-size-factor
calculations in it.

| (2) Good typography is to typeset acronyms a little bit smaller than
| normal, e.g. 9.5pt instead of 10pt is a good font-size for acronyms
| not to catch the eye too much. (I'm not talking about Small Caps here

I think that's better off in your customization layer, but I'd do it
in the code for acronym, not $char-seq$.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
