I’ve been printing several Gupapuyngu books this week and constantly frustrated with the size of the title box on the title page. Because this is a front matter page I can’t adjust it.
If the title is long then I have to have the title font very small to fit it all in. The latest title I have had to print is:
Djesuy gana dhäwu ḻakaraŋala yolŋuwala malaŋuwala ŋunhiliyi bukuŋura guṉḏaŋura
so you can imagine its quite squished.
But there is plenty of unused space on the rest of the title page below the English title. Can these boxes be more evenly distributed on the title page?
I’m also frustrated with the size of the text box on the title page when preparing or printing children’s books. The title should be in a largish font so teachers and students pay attention to it and don’t gloss over it because it is so small. If the book is to be enlarged into a Big Book for 20-40 children to be able to see it, then it is even more critical that the title be large enough for children sitting a few rows back to still see it.
