Hi all,
I've been TeX-doodling with the font shown on the page below: http://www.typography.com/catalog/hoeflertext/ornaments.html
Some of the nicer patterns are predicated on having horizontal as well as vertical elements smashed up next to one another. I find myself having to adjust for little gaps with: \godown[-0.029\bodyfontsize]
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I would have thought \godown[0pt] was the answer, but not so, here. The font metrics seem to be right, adding up to 1000 in both directions (or a little more, actually, considering overlapping dots).
this is tex's interlinespace mechanism popping in; play a bit with a row of things \par \nointerlinespace a row of things \par or \vbox \bgroup \offinterlinespace rows of ornaments \egroup Hans
