They are chopped off by just a little, and that is due to the bbox of the Form XObject being too small. The problem is not growing with the height of the box (putting "\parbox {1cm}{S\S\S\y}" in the box instead of "Sy"), so it shouldn't be a pt/bp confusion thing. <<<---------------------------- \documentclass{article} \newcommand{\smallbox}[1]{% \setbox0 = \hbox{#1}% \pdfxform attr { } resources{ } 0 \shipout\hbox{\pdfrefxform\pdflastxform} } \begin{document} \smallbox{Sy} \end{document} --------------------------->>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=396&group_id=106
