Hi,
I have a question regarding the application of relative font sizes to
inherited fontsize attributes on mstyle in the miSfontsize9 test case:
<mstyle fontsize='0.1in'>
<mi>A</mi>
<mo>+</mo>
<mi fontsize='2em'>A</mi>
...
</mstyle>
The first A identifier and both + operators inherit the fontsize of 0.1in
from the parent mstyle. But what about the second A, which has a relative
font size? One would assume that this relative font size of 2em is applied
to the fontsize inherited from the mstyle, producing a result of 0.2in.
However, in the expected output for this test case the A is much bigger,
and it seems to be applying the 2em to the default font size from *before*
the mstyle, ignoring the fontsize that was set on the mstyle altogether.
Is the expected output for miSfontsize9 incorrect? Or have I misread the
specification? The definition of mstyle does not seem to clearly specify
how relative values are applied to inherited attributes.
Best regards,
Michael
