That should be good enough for him. x-height is just 1ex in Latex's terminology. So what he was asking for, is merely that the two guiding lines in the Pinyin's panel be drawn at baseline (or a little below) and 1ex above baseline, of the current font. That would work for any font/size being used. He was describing the relationship of the character or glyphs to the lines, but really what is easier to the common Latex'ers, is to describe it the other way round: the positioning of those two lines relative to the current font and font size being used. My LaTeX-fu is definitely rusty - not remembering things I should know. > --- On Sat, 31/12/11, Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]> wrote: <snipped> > --------------------------- <snipped> > a) second.jpg is the PinYin alphabets typesetting rule.
