Yes, [email protected] is much better because there are the TeX/LaTeX gurus, the tetex list is just for questions about the teTeX distribution. Another good thing is the newsgroup comp.text.tex. > teTeX formats a list of acronyms It's actually most likely LaTeX which does the formatting. teTeX is a/the TeX distribution for UNIX. This is the reason I think you get better support on texhax or comp.text.tex . > like so: IrDA.....

If the 'r' in "Infrared Data" is in small-caps (and only the 'r'), then something seems to be broken. > 2. The acronym's expansion and the definition are separated only > by white space.

Otherwise we have to make some assumptions about the packages you use. On the first glance it seems that it is not too difficult to solve your problems, maybe the package you use even provides some options for customization. You can use the program "texdoctk" to browse the documentation. Unfortunately too many people do not know that there is such tool.
