[comp.text.tex] Changing type size also adds unwanted space!!

dorai@egeria.rice.edu (Dorai Sitaram) (03/14/91)

P. 200 of the LaTeX manual gives several declarations for changing the
type size.  Of these, the declarations \scriptsize and \footnotesize
inexplicably (to me) add some ugly space in front of them.

Thus, in:

unl{\tiny awful}
unl{\scriptsize awful}
unl{\footnotesize awful}
unl{\small awful}

\tiny and \small are fine, but the middle two produce something like:

unl awful 

I tried \ignorespaces on either side of the declaration,
and nothing happens.
