I find myself having to adjust for little gaps with: \godown[-0.029\bodyfontsize] Does this ring a bell with anyone? I would have thought \godown[0pt] was the answer, but not so, here. The font metrics seem to be right, adding up to 1000 in both directions (or a little more, actually, considering overlapping dots). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
