I remember seeing those in the Style or Details manuals, but I never really appreciated their importance. A bit of trial and error, and I have tighter lines than I earlier thought possible. Still, these Mac fonts, used through XeTeX, have some very generous vertical spacing. The worst so far was Optima, which, when used at 12pt, was reporting 11pt height and 4pt depth(!). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
