Some input from others?
Should we add it in the common stylesheets?

Sorry for confusing.
I used "automatic writing" and was not aware of that 
"gimp-help-custom.css" had changed to "gimp-help-plain.css". Of course 
it should be "gimp-help-custom.css" here and below.

My suggestion was that gimp-help-custom.css could be used to language 
specific styles. If Norwegian is the only language that would like to 
use the smaller font in italic in image texts, I could put the style in 
the /stylesheets/nn folder. Of course the Makefile in addition needs 
some conditionals to select the language specific files. ("if LANG=xx 
then copy stylesheets/xx/*.css to html").

As the gimp22.css is listed downmost in the html head tag it is not 
possible to override this style using the language dependent method.

I have to select the alternate style sheets (gimp22.css) for every 
single side and I am normally not using it. But perhaps some others does.

Again, sorry for my misleading misprint.
