Hello, could someone please explain the following result? \starttext \setbox0=\hbox{fg}\showbox0 \setbox0=\hbox{\strut fg}\showbox0 \stoptext gives
\box0= \hbox(8.33331+2.33331)x9.46518 ./cmr12/f ./cmr12/g
! OK. l.3 \setbox0=\hbox{fg}\showbox0
\box0= \hbox(10.41603+4.05064)x9.46518 .\hbox(10.41603+4.05064)x0.0 ..\rule(10.41603+4.05064)x0.0 ..\glue 0.0 plus 1.0fil minus 1.0fil ./cmr12/f ./cmr12/g
! OK. l.4 \setbox0=\hbox{\strut fg}\showbox0 OK, the first box is easy. The second one gives me a slight headache: why is the rule 10.4 + 4.1 pt? (14.46667 total) the definition of strut(box) is \setbox\strutbox=\hbox{\vrule height8.5pt depth3.5pt width\z@} so where do the other 2.46667 point come from?
