[NTG-context] Two minor questions

[Stefan Nedeljkovic]

Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!

I have 2 more questions:

Observe the files here:

1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with
the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I
see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How
would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any
stretching/shrinking trickery?

Sincerely,
Stefan
