Hi Bob,

thanks a lot for the answer. In the meantime, I had conceded that my
issue was a bit of a corner case and maybe not worth pursuing with too
much fervour (at least for now :) ).
I am now using the sans-serif font for all xrefs (with the correct
size, of course). That seems to work quite well because I can set the
font size before going down the entire substitute-markup rabbithole.
It may break the reading flow a tiny bit, so it is not ideal... but well.

That sounds invasive. :( I had hoped I wouldn't have to modify or copy
essential all mode=title.markup templates. And the point about having
to modify all inline elements that can contain anything that is
formatted in the monospace font is also rather true.


Again, thanks.

Stefan.
