Hi, ConTeXters

 

I'm playing some Chinese vertical typesetting. Mr. Wolfgang Shuster helps me a lot about it.

 

In vertical typesetting, the top of each leading Chinese characters at each column are aligned horizontally. But if we changed the size of the bodyfont of some characters and they could wrap to the next column, then the top of the wrapped texts are not aligned with the other columns. So we can give them a raise, but it is not so easy to calculate the dimension to be raised, for ConTeXt will give every Chinese a \strut and makes the original height and depth unavailable. Since we can aligned the \strut-ed characters precisely, the real characters are not.

 

Can Hans or other TeXperts give me a nice solution?

 

In fact, I think in vertical Chinese, we should move the baseline to the top of the character. and make it with height=0pt and depth=width
