Subject: kerning / tracking on nested ordered lists
Hi, I'm noticing on PDF documents with nested orderedlists the list numbers are looking "squished". I have included a sample PDF - please see page 8. Is there a parameter and / or stylesheet that can be tweaked to adjust this (overly) tight kerning? I am using DocBook XML V4.2, XEP and docbook-xsl-1.61.3 stylesheets. Cheers, Chris Chris Johnson Web Developer Capilano College North Vancouver, Canada 604.986.1911 ext. 3455 cjohnson@capcollege.bc.ca
