I have made most of the changes that you have suggested and it is working well so far. I have one question, though. Why remove the small-caps? I removed them and changed the headers to font-wieght 400 but I don't think it has as good of effect as the small-caps. Is there a reason for removing them? I am guessing that they take up more space or is it a readability issue? Thanks for your help.
