It looks like a stylesheet issue, though I have no idea at what point in the chain it could be fixed. The dsl stylesheet writes the ascii code for the degree symbol into the tex file. TeX understands the symbol and prints it, but stupidly, with too much space between the symbol and the next character. TeX actually has a smart degree symbol, \textdegree. Currently I run my tex through a sed script to change all the ascii degrees into textdegrees. It looks just like it should, but I have no idea how to massage the stylesheets into outputting \textdegree for ° I will include an example in the one I am creating for the "page number" problem. -- Kevin M.
