Thank you Fr. Michael.
I ran your suggestion and it worked beautifully. Then I tried to adapt your
code to a file that I already had and it fell apart. One permutation of my
code had only the first number turning gray. I have changed some things and
after an hour of fiddling, can't get it to compile at all. (I am using the
xelatex command as I will be using this with a Lao document.)
Some of the errors for me were some line breaks inserted in your
comments --- so part of a comment was considered text. But that's minor.
The main problem I found was with grouping your use of the
\textsuperscript in the \graynumbers command. You have:
\newcommand\graynumbers[1]{\textsuperscript\graytext{#1}}
Where it works with:
\newcommand\graynumbers[1]{\textsuperscript{\graytext{#1}}}
\textsuperscript didn't get its argument grouped, so it stopped.
As for the font size of the main font, etc., /one/ way (maybe not the
exact control you're looking for) is to load the font size globally in
the option for the documentclass:
\documentclass[12pt,a5paper,draft]{book}
Then, you have to either scale the other font sizes with fontspec option
[Scale=MatchLowercase] or whatever --- see the fontspec documentation.
I'm not familiar with the XeTeX (or LaTeX)way of loading a font where
you can specify a size to load ... someone else can help you there, I'm
sure (I'd be happy to know, too!)
HTH.
