The point is it differs much from one country to another. I am not certain but I believe anglo-saxons progressively come to the _french usage_, i.e. capitalizing only the initial of an acronym when it is pronounced as a word (the case for GRASS GIS). Extract from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization While acronyms have historically been written in all-caps, British usage is moving towards capitalizing only the first letter in cases when these are pronounced as words (e.g., Unesco and Nato), reserving all-caps for initialisms (e.g., UK and USA). I fear it is an endless discussion anyway. Objectivity is hard to reach in that domain of graphic design. > > However, I do prefer splash4 (with modified fonts) over splash7.

But you are right, we can copy version 4 layout. _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
