there are no absolute font sizes in the style sheet, nor were there with the old asciidoc style sheet. All the font sizes are relative to the body element font which itself is specified as 100%. That means the browser defaults are actually controlling the rendered font sizes. When you say "formatted for printing" do you mean using your browser's print function? If I do that in Firefox using CutePDF writer as an output device I get awful font rendering. The PDFs you have posted are a bit better but the fonts still look pretty poor. If we want a PDF rendering of the User Guide it would be better to have the build script use asciidoctor to generate a DocBook XML file and feed that to a decent DocBook XML to PDF converter, that way we would have a working TOC etc.. I have changed the controlling font size to 90%, here is a sample (includes a few tweks to get better PDF formatting): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4192709/wsjtx-main.html I have also sorted out proper PDF generation in the CMake script, it is optional and only works when the relevant tools are installed (asciidoc-fopub). Here is a sample: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4192709/wsjtx-main.pdf I envisage generating a PDF version of the User Guide for access from the project web site rather then shipping it with the application.
