[bksvol-discuss] Re: Question re caps

Actually, Pratik, there are many cases where the
letters are widely spaced in the print--widely being
two or three space bar touches. However, I do close
them up now, since people have said that they are
annoying. I don't think  changes like that are any
worse than closing end-of-line hyphens or making very
large print smaller. I used to try to get the print of
titles and authors as close to the original as I
could, but then people posted that when they get too
large they can't be read, so now I downsize them. I
think a 36 point font is the largest that can be read
easily, depending on what type font is being used.
