Dear Evan;
I cannot speak directly to the issue that you are sharing, but I can
potentially relate to the overall issue and the dilemma I am currently debating
within my own mind on a book I am currently working on. There is a particular
style, and I do not know what it is called although I have seen it on my ribbon
in Word 2007, whereby the lowercase letters look like smaller uppercase
letters. It is almost as if they are just a few points smaller than the true
upper case letters. Some of the engines in using their translation, correctly
interpret them as lower case, and others represent them as a smaller point
uppercase.
Technically the first is correct, but visually, the second seems more
appropriate in many or most cases. A book I am working on has this running
throughout the book, and always in the chapter headings which look to be upper
case, but are in fact this lower case and I cannot decide if I should have the
word chapter in all upper or lower case. I know neither would be wrong, and
yet I find myself unable to choose.
Really sad, isn't it? LOL
Valerie
