This is explained in LM 4.2.2. If the 'font-size property is not listed on the BreathingSign page, then it uses the global default setting for 'font-size (which is 0, according to the font-interface page). On the other hand, there are many grob properties with unlisted default values. Does this imply that they are undocumented, or that their values are grob-dependent? I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere. > Once again, I would like to suggest that all settings for a given grob > should be available in a single documentation page — e.g., the grob > LayoutObject page — so that users don't have to hunt them down in fourteen > different places, assuming they even know where to look to begin with.

I agree that the process to *find* the correct page can be difficult though. Thanks, Patrick
