So it's a reasonable approximation that the box part of the natural
will extend
about 3/4 staff spaces above the staff position of the natural, and
the
descender will descend about 1.5 staff spaces below.
Seems like a reasonable estimate to me, even if it's not exact for a
particular
font. You can't get too far away from that and still fit in a staff.
Thanks,

Agreed, Carl, And, IMHO, there is no need for exaggerated exactness: as soon as two corners get too close (no matter how close exactly), we need a wee bit of extra padding. The main reason for the 3/4 staff spaces, to be honest, was that the two intervals will be just touching (with intersection length 0) for the corner-to-corner constellation.
