I followed that one. But my problem is more the *wrong strut height*, e.g. using a \totalstrut value of 12pt with a 8pt font. The strut height is simply not adapted to the actual font size anymore (even if I use \setstrut). I can understand why you think this is a different problem, but both struts and interline spaces depend on the value of "1ex", which has changed in an incompatible way. Perhaps you should post a complete minimal example.
But (unless the font data is really bad) we are talking about slight differences. And you can't call a 12.6pt strut for a 8pt font a slight change. :)
I will (try to) make a minimal example...
Looks like this is font related. I have tried the attached example with LM and there where no noticible differences (not at first sight). Same example with Tahoma and things go the wrong way.
nothing wrong ... it's just that afm2tfm (or whatever you use for mkii) uses some funny method for calculating the ex height in mkiv we use the xheight spec from the font (defined in the font in this case) or the height of an 'x' \showstruts 2.8ex: \the\dimexpr2.8ex\par \strut qgjyQWT\par 1ex: \the\dimexpr 1ex\par \setbox0\hbox{x}ht(x):\the\ht0\par 2.8*ht(x): \the\dimexpr2.8\ht0 if you look at the font it's pretty clear that it has a large x-height so you can best use a different interline specification, like x\strut qgjyQWT\par \setupinterlinespace[line=1.2\bodyfontsize] x\strut qgjyQWT\par you might even want to change the height:depth ratio (keep in mind that we cannot predict these things, so it always is a matter of tuning ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
