Umlaut causes footnotline to jump

Umlaut causes footnotline to jump

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

again, unfortunately close to the printing, we have found an insoluble ugly detail in the footnotes.
There is a very strange thing with german umlaut (actually it took me 2 hours to see this point).

Have a look at the example below:
When you change the \"O to O the interlinespace snaps back to its correct value.
But \"O (or Ü the same) does not always distort the interlinespace. It's just sometimes (and to me unpredictably...).

As it is a quite striking feature it needs to be corrected -- but how??

your lineheight is too small, andin this case the line with teh \"O has 
at least .5pt more height than assumed max ht, and sincethe lines touch 
then, will force an extra interlineskip of 1pt

whether or not you observe this is a coincidence since in many cases 
lines have ht/dp < the max values

What is the difference between footnote 1 and footnote 2, why does the \"O on footnote 1 fit in its line and not in footnote 2?
There have both interlinespace[line=9.8pt] ...

the height and depth of the line as calculated by tex based on the 
actual text; 9.8 pt lineheight is nog enough to squeeze the char with 
the most height and depth in so you need to choose a larger value than 
9.8pt (and maybe set lineskip to 0pt)

The awkward thing about this is that the chosen values are given by the publishers...

After some trying I saw that interlinespace[line=10.6pt] instead of 9.8pt would work. But this far beyond. 
The document I am working on is to be published as part of a series. So I can't change the footnote's interlinespace from 9.8pt to 10.6pt!

Is there truly no other workaround?

hi steffen,

you can try to lower the baseline for the footnotes by changing the
relation of height and depth. this way you get a different \strut (same
total height, but bigger height part). i think the \strut command is
also the cause of the different appearance in your two examples (add
\showstruts after \startext; \strut and Ö in the same line..).

try something like

setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt,height=.79,depth=.21]

the values are font dependent and probably don't fit here (taken from my
experiments with ms-sansserif). if i remember it right the default
values are height=.72 and depth=.28 .

hth, peter

Peter that's it, that is exactly the kind of adjustment what I was looking for.

well, many designers and publishers are often not aware of these things 
(actually, in most of the styles i make for publishers i end up with not 
using any font or color system simply because there is no logic in the 
choices made);

in luatex we can cheat by creating a virtual font with zero ht/dp glyphs 
but in tex this is not possible without changing font metrics

as suggested, you may try to change the ht/dp ratio and cross your 
fingers that no ( ) are used (or math with superscript)

no, it's like building a wall with 10cm heigh bricks and wanting 10 layers mount up to 80cm

please wikify this:

\starttext
    \hbox to \hsize \bgroup \showbaselines \showstruts
        \ruledvtop \bgroup \hsize.45\hsize
            \switchtobodyfont[rm,9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt]
            \begstrut \input tufte \endstrut \endgraf
        \egroup
        \hss
        \ruledvtop \bgroup \hsize.45\hsize
            
\switchtobodyfont[rm,9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt,height=.79,depth=.21]
            \begstrut \input tufte \endstrut \endgraf
        \egroup
    \egroup
