Dear Joris,

One more thing. Could you please verify the english-slovak.scm file? Somehow
parts of its text is typeset in light grey in TeXmacs, while the
english-czech.scm is typeset all in a black font. I don't know why this is
different as I am not aware of doing anything unusual to the
english-slovak.scm file and it has been partially grey from the start.

Best,
Peter.
