Hi, comparable to the pre-defined \threequarter I want to write a \TwoThird. The following looks quite good (with my respective font settings) ... \def\TwoThird{{\tx\high{\txx 2}}\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.1em{\txx 3}} ... but still the "2" is a bit to high. How can I adjust "vertikal kerning"? Thanks, Steffen

Ahh! "\raise" and "\lower" ... these I've missed. Look like plain TeX commands, right? Thank you Peter, (immediately I go and get a copy of that TeXbook) Steffen Am 31.08.2006 um 22:44 schrieb Peter Rolf:

I think it's even a TeX primitive (not defined in the plain TeX macro package).
Thank you Peter,

A very good reference is "TeX by Topic" (for free, as it's not printed any more; but you can donate the author any amount via paypal) http://www.eijkhout.net/tbt/ Or for browsing http://www.tug.org/utilities/plain/cseq.html But it's never a fault to start with the TeX 'bible' ;) Happy TeXing, Peter
