+In general, @code{make-dynamic-script} takes any markup object as its
+argument.  The dynamic font only contains the characters
+@code{f,m,p,r,s} and @code{z}, so if a dynamic mark that includes
+plain text or punctuation symbols is desired, markup commands that
+reverts font family and font encoding to normal text should be used,
+for example @code{\normal-text}.  The interest of using
+@code{make-dynamic-script} instead of an ordinary markup is ensuring
