Hmm, that doesn’t seem to work. I didn’t know about \strut before, and I’m not sure if I correctly understand how it works, but doesn’t the size of the box depend on the whitespace character and not on the tallest character? I don’t know which height, if any, a whitespace character in a font normally has, but at least with LilyPond’s standard text font and with Gentium Book Basic, which is the one I’m currently using, it doesn’t work.
