That was a bad example, just try it :-)

Ok, better example attached :-)

But if you have a chuck of well-controlled text, there is a trick:

\lineskiplimit=-10000pt blaq blaq {\tfc blaq blaq} blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq {\tfc blaq blaq} blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq blaq

%\lineskiplimit=0pt \lineskip=0pt

blah blah {\tfc blah blah} blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah {\tfc blah blah} blah blah blah blah blah blah

I have attached a file and pdf that illustrate all four scenarios; none of the above solutions seems to work, but maybe I need to tinker with the def's in test-strut.tex. For my purposes Hans' approach is the most useful (if we can make it work) because otherwise it makes me have to do more copy-editing of paragraphs and I might miss some (based on Taco's observation it is probably not wise to make this global).

There should be a \par or empty line before those \stop commands, otherwise none of the paragraph-based tricks work.

Ok, yours works now, but not Wolfgang's or Hans'. Wolfgang's is essentially the same idea as yours so that's fine but if we could just get the Hans approach to work...

Thank you a million, Hans! And thank you, Taco and Wolfgang, for enriching my bag of tricks. You are all the best!

Hmm, there is a bug, unfortunately: Only the first word in #1 is processed, the rest are ignored. Adding grouping causes the argument to be treated as a box and the desired effect is lost. (pdf attached).
