Yes, and accented uppercase letters are even taller, e.g. "É" Null interlined blocks of lines make ascenders and descenders almost touch. This example shows how the empty space between lines can vary depending on the actual characters: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy The baselines are evenly spaced, but if a typesetting engine tries to reduce the empty space, it could lead to uneven baselines. -- Francisco Vila.
