The Danish term is "spatiering" or "sp�rre(de typer)". Back when Danish was typeset using fraktur (or whatever; they seem simply to have been referred to as Danish letters), it was the standard way of indicating emphasis. In those days, it was also common to typeset certain Latin words� in a roman typeface, much in the same way italics are sometimes used in English. � And sometimes other "foreign" words as well. -- Torsten
