Hi, Is there a font dependant dimension, similar to 1em = width of an M, but in height ? Best, Alan

Thanks all. Was looking for the equivalent in height of a capital. Didn't find it there, neither elsewhere, so... Best, Alan

One thing that you can always do: \box0=\hbox{012} and then you can access \ht0, \wd0, \dp0 (height, width and depth) of whatever text you desire. Mojca
