So what about a medium caps, and the usual Alternatively, to avoid "screaming capitals", you can use a special typeface \vf that, compared to the main typeface, is scaled down a little, say to 98%, and then write {\vf CD} to get the desired result. I apply this method to typeset acronyms; small caps in my opinion should only be used for emphasizing (ie, names). Marco -- Marco Kuhlmann marco.kuhlmann@gmx.net
