Boy, do I know that drill! I am lucky that it never rains in Texas, as I
needed all the sunlight I could get. For a few days I had several pages of
the actual book I was using as a design reference permanently taped to my
kitchen's windows, so I could easily check my latex output against them.

I had to do something similar, though OUP sent me their design
specification, so I didn't actually have to measure things. I DID
have to hold up pages printed from my implementation to a light,
with one printed from their specification manual behind it, to see
if they lined up correctly.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
