I'm writing my thesis with classicthesis and I have some issues with the acronym package together with classicthesis.
The following code shows a minimal reconstruction of my problem:
\documentclass[]{scrbook}
\usepackage{classicthesis}
\usepackage{acronym}
\begin{document}
\begin{acronym}
\acro{ABC}[ABC]{A B C}
\end{acronym}
\end{document}
This code compiles to:
where I would like to see: .
The second image was created with the classicthesis package commented out.
How can I enforce classicthesis to leave the capitalization of acronyms in the acronym list as they are?

The
acronym
environment internally uses thedescription
environment, but theclassicthesis
package changes the waydescription
item labels are displayed. Thescrbook

, the item labels are displayed in bold sans-serif:Adding
classicthesis
changes the item label to small-caps:The
acronym
package additionally sets the item format (within theacronym
environment) to use\aclabelfont
which defaults to using bold:Now there's a warning message in the transcript:
The problem here is that there's no bold small-caps font available, so the bold small-caps has been replaced with just bold lower case.
You can restore
scrbook
's formatting for thedescription
environment using:For example:
This produces:
