\item The default encoding for \textsf{newpxtext} is now T$1$, but support is offered also for OT$1$ and LY$1$. As some add-on packages are available only in T$1$, that seems the best current choice.
\item The font collection used for rendering text is based on TeXGyrePagella with a number of additions, denoted by TeXGyrePagellaX. The superior figures in this addition are set by default to render footnote markers. (It is also possible customize footnote markers by redefining \verb|\thefootnote| after loading {\tt newpxtext.sty}.) Small caps are available in all weights and styles, and are offered in two sizes. The default small caps supplied by TeXGyrePagella are really \textsc{Petite Caps}, having xheights approximately the same x-heights (sometimes smaller) than lowercase letters. Option \texttt{largesc} increases the size of small caps by about 8\%, approximating the size of Adobe Palatino Small Caps. IMO, this is a better match in terms of weight and size. For a side by side comparison: {\pcf Petite Caps}, \textsc{Small Caps}.
\item Sans serif is by default taken from TeXGyreHeros, and by default at 94\% of the scale factor (set by {\tt scaled}, default value {\tt1}). The option {\tt helvratio=.98} will change that to 98\%.
-\item New math accents such as \verb|\widearc| have been introduced in tandem with the newtx package, where they are documented.

+The next two sections describe options to {\tt newpxtext} of more specialized nature.
+
+\section{Spacing issues}
+This new version of {\tt newpxtext} has spacing that is a little different, in its default state, from that of the old {\tt newpxtext}. In small part this is due to the finer kerning of TeXGyre Pagella, but mostly because the three parameters that govern inter-word spacing are not the same.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ pxfonts Pagella
+fontdimen2 (interword space) .25em .25em
+fontdimen3 (interword stretch) .125em .2em
+fontdimen4 (interword shrink) .08333em .1em
+\end{verbatim}
+That is, {\tt Pagella} has the same normal spacing as {\tt pxfonts} but its spacing is more flexible in terms of both stretch and shrink. More frequently than not, a paragraph built with {\tt Pagella} will occupy more space than the same built with {\tt pxfonts}. For this reason, the package offers some ways to change the spacing parameters. This may be important if you are trying to imitate the pagination of a document built using~{\tt pxfonts}.
+
+Option {\tt tighter} sets the three fontdimen values to those of {\tt pxfonts}, except with a little more shrink. This should make it unlikely that text will occupy more space than it would have using~{\tt pxfonts}.
+
+Option {\tt looser} sets the three fontdimen values to \verb|{.3em,.2em,.1em}| respectively.
+
+If you want full control, the options {\tt spacing, stretch, shrink} allow you to modify one or more of the above fontdimens. For example,
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[stretch=.15em,shrink=.095em]{newpxtext}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+
+\section{Usage with {\tt babel}}
+You should normally load {\tt babel} before loading {\tt newpxtext} in order for {\tt babel} to function as expected. {\tt Newpxtext} will set an internal flag to indicate that {\tt babel} is being used. Option \texttt{babel} should be used only if you are forced to load {\tt babel} after {\tt newpxtext}. There appears to be an incompatibility between parts of {\tt babel} and \verb|\AtEndPreamble|. If you use {\tt babel}, and a math package, you have to omit the {\tt osf} option and use the macro \verb|\useosf| after loading the math package if you want oldstyle figures in text mode and lining figures in math mode. For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[greek.polutonico,english]{babel}
