No, because using this scheme markup text, the specifier `dynamic'
is an abbreviation for

   (dynamic . ((font-family . dynamic) (font-relative-size . 0)))

as specified in scm/font.scm

So, you should do:

   #(define dynamic-1 '((font-family . dynamic) (font-relative-size . -1)))
   #(define ppp `((,dynamic-1) "ppp"))
