Hi- (1) Just wondered why sub-/superscripts are defined by fractions of font-size since there seem to be "\sub" and "\super" -constructs in RTF as well, which would -- in contrast to the current method -- use the fonts' own sub- and superscript-characters. The latter (if available) went through their own development-process under the type-designer's mouse: As true SmallCaps-characters, true sub- and superscript-characters have a little bit more weight compared to the same characters sized down to the same H-height. (If true-chars are not available in the font, I still consider the sizing a job of the RTF-renderer.)
Furthermore, the scaling-factors defined in dbparams.dsl do not result in nice sizes to my eyes. I propose the following values: (define %ss-size-factor% ; 0.6) 0.7) (define %ss-shift-factor% ; 0.4) 0.25) (2) Is there a way / docbook-element, that distinguishes between oblique/slanted and (true) italics? What do you think? da -- Is that a serif in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
