It's not so much that I chose HTTPS as that the web browser is set up to automatically prefer HTTPS and doesn't have an exclusion for github.io. It's sorted for me now, but it may come up for someone else. Whether it's a bug in ReSpec, in ReSpec usage, or in 'HTTPS Everywhere' is open to interpretation. ... >> 3.

I'd welcome input from subject matter experts about this. You can, of course, get emphatic but conflicting advice about this. I was trying to be neutral with "the practice", above, since there is no one answer. I was using 'lining' where, from [1], I see I should have been using 'tabular'. Having a glossary and examples in Latinreq would help (and, at present, Latinreq doesn't have a reference to CSS Fonts).
