stipub / stix_type1 Goto Github PK

This is a subjective opinion but I feel default behaviour (\nonfrenchspacing) show little in pdf output. I wanted to give example

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{stix2}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-2]

Bon ça va à peu près finalement.


\end{document}

but this is not typical of what I saw typically in a paper using stix2 I am working on and can't paste here.

I feel the spacing after punctuation could be wider. Very subjective opinion. Feel free to dismiss ;-)

Despite digits being small in fractions, the fractions themselves occupy significant vertical space so much so that one must use a baselinestretch like 1.25 to avoid unevenness of baselines in a paragraph as soon as one includes things such as $\frac23$. Tested with LaTeX2e and \usepackage{stix2} and 12pt class option.

I understand this may read as some personal taste.
