Thank you for this pointer! So it is *not* the maximum vertical extent above / below the baseline for a given font? I made a wrong assumption here - I'm remembering my LaTeX and TeX days... maybe using \null iso \strut is what you want!? > I don't know, all I wanted was to "fix" the baseline skips at start and end of line-wrapped text sections by adding this "construct" at start and end of each "text section". Probably this is not eh way to go. btw - if you reduce your examples to really tiny examples demonstrating only > one questionable item it's easier to find answers. > I didn't want to spam the list with too many parallel and related requests. I'll try to follow your recommendation in the future. Best regards, Olivier
