Ah, I just assumed that everybody would have downloaded TeXGyre fonts by now :) I will add a note and the download instructions in the documentation. > 2.

I do not know how to do that (for any font). If you can point me to some documentation or example on setting up oldstyle numbers for some fonts, I will experiment with it to see if it can be enabled by default for PracTeX Journal. > 3.

Ah, so that was where the space was coming from. I'll correct it. I still do not understand when a line in a \def should end in a % and when it is alright to omit it. > Thanks so much for providing this module; I'll certainly use it if I > write anything for PTJ again! I hope you find the time to write something more. I really enjoyed your previous articles. Aditya
