Hi Scott!
Thanks for giving us such explicit information on what the converter
does. I have always set the body text at 12 point, and am glad I have a
better idea of this sizing stuff now. I wish your clear instructions could
be added to the scanning and proofreading manual.

Hi Susan,
Yes, there are several ways to do this. Within the general rule of 4:2 you
can pick font sizes as long as body text is smaller than 14.
4:2 is shorthand for:
Any book may have only four levels of navigation.
Each level must be separated by at least two points.
Body text must be under 14 points
But since our converters change all files to a standard 20-18-16-14-12
point spread it makes some sense for volunteers to adopt that also

Hello Everyone,
Hmmm, as with many things it seems there may be several ways of doing
this. When a book has only chapters, I set my body text to 14, chapters to
16 and title to 18. It was my understanding (or lack of it, not sure of
which) that body text should not be set below 14. Any comments would be
appreciated!
