I prefer cloth bound without dust jacket, for the simple reason that
we don't have the resources to do a really pretty full color cover
and it's not that sort of book anyway, but what do other people
think?
If clothbound isn't prohibtively expensive (and it wouldn't make the book so), it would also be my preference, without a dust jacket. I would opt for the grey cloth, with the idea of reserving blue for the forthcoming major-numbered version.
Aren't there like a *million* more requirements, though, like font
embedding and so on?
Fonts are embedded as subsets.
The images, as
gleki noted in the Art thread, are low resolution web images: 72 dpi, where 600 dpi is recommended for black and white images. When re-sourcing these images, it might be best to select an image format that supports black and white: As GIFs, these are RGB images, which the guide says will be converted to grayscale, but why not head off any potential problem with that?
Regarding the glyph warnings:
자모 turns up in Example 4.51: The literal characters are included in the XML.
Font support for
JA and
MO is limited. Maybe better to embed them as an image? Or rewrite the example to use better supported characters?
ℵ is in Example 18.17, as an HTML entity: ℵ
It seems to be
supported in DejaVu Sans, although not in DejaVu Serif. Perhaps the entity could be wrapped in a span that would style it as sans?
