Re: [docbook-apps] kerning / tracking on nested ordered lists

Well, when I nest orderedlists, I get different formats for the numbers,
such as 1, A, i, etc.  You must be using a customization to get the stacked
arabic numbers, right?

In any case, I don't think tracking is the problem here.  I think the
problem is that XEP is trying to fit the wide number into a narrow space.
The default width of the block for the number is 2em, and three digit
numbers don't fit very well.  I think you need to widen the space for the
wide numbers.  You can do that with a processing instruction in the nested
orderedlist:

<orderedlist>
<?dbfo label-width="4em"?>
